A modest plan--> one year later

At this point last year I was very ill (later to be determined as a variant of the asian flu) during the testing phase I had to have everything checked and finally I got better on my own... I have a great GP and she told me "you are really healthy except for being a fat b@st@rd....drop a few pounds and you'll be set. I started running, biking etc, my ultimate goal being 100 lbs and to run in this years Bay to Breakers race. I'd always been an athlete, but I'd just gotten busy with work and kids etc... Anyway, it is a year later! I've lost 72 pounds and I completed the B2B today in less than an hour and twenty minutes! Small steps! very small, determined steps! that race is the wildest thing I've ever seen.... Lots of naked people running... oh my.... men and women and several naked elvises.
