Follow along through the challenges of fatherhood and fitness

Follow me as I grow as a father, continue to improve my fitness, and hopefully continue losing weight towards my goal of 60lbs (10lbs to go! 8.25.12).

I never set out to be overweight but I love beer, wine, scotch, and all sorts of terrible food. I didn't choose to get out of shape it just sort of happened. All that changed when I found out my wife was pregnant in December 2010. I decided it was time to set myself up to be a fitdad not a fatdad.

No one ever said it would be easy though. Dealing with a newborn and trying to continue exercising as well as being there for my wife as her husband and friend. As our son gets older and our family grows what impact will that have on my fitness and diet? Stay tuned to find out! Subscribe via email, or add me to your reader.

Why do I run...

Another why do I run segment...why, well, because I am lacking in creative original ideas for a new post I guess.

Why Do I Run?

1.  Because I never want to be 250lbs again.
2.  Because slow or fast it still feels good.
3.  Because Noah isn't getting any slower...
4.  Because I like being able to comfortably bend over and tie my shoes.
5.  Because my pants fit better than ever.
6.  Because I want to have abs again.
7.  Because sometimes I still like to eat like crap.
8.  Because there is no better stress reliever.
9.  Because runners love a good cliche.
10 Because I am my own biggest competitor.
11 Because nothing feels better than cool rain on hot skin in the summer.
12 Because I want to be faster.
13 Because I never want to be out of breath walking up steps again.
14 Because my health depends on it.
15 Because endorphins are a poweful drug.
16 Because I want to be the best example for my child, so he doesn't become an overweight statistic.
17 Because you can never have enough running shoes.
18 Because that breathing you hear is stress disappearing.
19 Because at 6am you have the world to yourself.
20 Because its an excuse to not cut the grass.
21 Because I like nachos too much.
22 Because I want to be better than I was yesterday
23 Because I like to make lists about running to bore you.
24 Because I still can..
20 Because I want to be able to outrun the Zombies...because I only have to be faster than you :)

So why do you run?
