Well I started getting up a little earlier this week and put the leash on Pepper (running partner and household pet) and started running.  We ran 2 miles on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday.  We are both a little out of shape and now sore.  When I weighed myself on Monday morning I tipped the scale at a whopping 232 lbs.  By Thursday morning after the run I was at 228 and then on Friday after the run I was back up to 229.  Two steps forward and one step back.  My goal in running this half marathon is not to lose weight but to gain some publicity and DONATIONS for a great group of parents, volunteers and kids who are known as the Junior Grizzlies.  Feel free to go juniorgrizzlies.org to learn more.  Keep checking back for updates on my progress to reaching 13.2 miles and $20,000 by February 1st 2009. Look for a donation link soon. For the meantime you can donate by calling 559.320.2547
