Results!

I played basketball, football and ran track when I was in High School.  Additionally, I spent a good amount of time outside riding my bike, running around, playing with friends, etc.  I wasn't necessarily the most athletic kid (even in my own family), but I wasn't purely an uncoordinated wall-flower either.  Having said that, though, I can say - unequivocally - I'm in the best shape of my life right now.  I'm consistently running 11+ miles (with a high of 13 this past week) and I'm a week away from being done with the Insanity workout regime. 

I've tried to document the fact that I was motivated to start my whole weight-loss/training regime after hitting a high point of 235 lbs, but I never really thought I would go so far into it that I would get into the kind of shape I'm in right now.  I remember being able to run for hours when I was in High School, but I feel stronger, sharper and more in-shape than I can ever remember feeling before.  I'm almost sad to see Insanity's end in sight.  I finish two days before the mudder on the 27th of this month, and I'm already starting to think about restarting the whole thing.  It's been intense (as the name implies), but I can honestly say it's been amazing at the same time.
