Why do you run? Because I'm Fat.

Good day to all you runners out there, beginners and maybe some experts who would like to peer into the world and experience of a novice runner, if I can even call myself a runner yet.

There are so many podcasts and blogs out there dedicated to running that I thought I'd jump aboard and share my moments with you...if any are even interested in this pitiful blog. I don't know how my format will be and I don't know if I'll continue doing this. If I can stay dedicated to this as I am now dedicated to running, then I'll be a regular blogger.

The title of this blog is, well, my answer to most questions nowadays. I'm 25 years old, male, six foot two inches and I currently weigh 250 pounds. (this morning the scale said 249 after my run). I am considered OBESE by the BMI standard, but by America's standard, I'm just a little plump, nothing a good fried chicken can't help. Joking aside, I have to get myself back into shape. Not too long ago while I was in high school I could run, jump, swim and not think twice about eating two double burgers from In 'n' Out (the double doubles animal style...mmm.). Now, the burgers have caught up with me and are attached to my gut and my rear....sticking out further than I'd like.

I'm crunched on time so I just wanted to introduce myself and next blog I will tell you about a great beginning running program that I have recently started and am enjoying. It's called Couch to 5K.

So far it's been a great workout. I look forward to hearing from you...any of you....are there any of you out there reading this lame blog? probably not.

Take care and run long!
