It's been awhile since I've posted. Been busy with work and the like. I'm doing well. My weight loss has slowed down quite a bit but it's not bothering me. I'm more focused on gaining muscle and being "fit". As part of being fit I ran in Chicago's Shamrock Shuffle this morning. It was a crowded field of over 40,000 people. I finished in exactly 1 hour to run the 8K (5 mile) race. I was pleasantly surprised because when I did this race last time over 10 years ago in much better shape it took me only 55 minutes. It's something I could not imagine doing this a year ago before surgery. It's been tough keeping on track but it has been quite worth it. Keep on shuffling folks.
