199.5!

I haven't posted in a while, but today deserved an entry. After work, I went out for a 15 mile bicycle ride, around Lake Success, into Little Neck, up into Kings Point, and back south towards my house. Then, I stepped on a scale.

I just weighed in at 199.5 lbs.

At the beginning of the year I clocked in at about 225. I never had a goal weight, and I still don't. My only real goal is to run two marathons in a year, and I just kind of figured the weight would come off while I did that. Still, it was great to pass a milestone like 200. As far as I can remember, it's the first time I've been under 200 lbs since not long after I ran the Virginia Beach Half Marathon in September, 2004.

In other news...Beth registered with Team In Training this past weekend, and they're e-mailing me a registration form early next week, so mileage and fundraising are going to start to build up quickly very soon.
