When Everyone Is Against You

There are times when I think what the fuck is the point of all this? I eat right I exercise, I train, and then I talk to my dad and poof a nice swift kick in the gut. I tell him my first half marathon is coming up and he tells me now? Not even I can do it. This from the man who once let me sign up for my first half when I couldn't even run up a hill when I was fifteen. November is 12th is 56 days away. And I know I can do this I just need one person to really stand behind me or with me and let me know that all this running and walking in crappy shoes because I don't have the money for a really good pair yet because of bills or investments for promo for my books or I have to register for my January race. (I'm stil waffling between Walt Disney World and the ONU Indoor Polar Bear Marathons for that.)

Right now I'm looking over at that plate full of carrot cake cupcakes and wondering should I be strong or just show them how right they are. His words hurt and I really don't want to feel them. I've never been one to listen to people who have something nasty to say to seriously but then, maybe that's why I weigh over two hundred pounds. On a good note however, I've lost four more pounds and weigh 281 pounds.

And anyone in the area who wants to get in shape the Louisville Sports Commission is putting on a 5K, see information below!
