47 by 47

Who could ask for a better Birthday present than what I got when I stepped on the scale this morning.

Yes, that's a low since I started running. And it's 47 pounds lost on my 47th birthday.

It took me awhile and while I wasn't thinking about a 47 by 47 goal. I am now thinking about 48 by 48, 48 things to do by 48 and all things 48. You'll see my plan in less than 48 hours and it'll make you smile 48 times. This will be the year of 48.

So, if you know of anything I should do 48 times or for 48 hours, minutes or seconds. Or anything else to do in the next year that is 48, let me know.

Things I won't do:

Run 48 marathons

Eat a 48 ounce steak (although tempting)

Run for 48 hours

Climb Camelback Mountain 48 times

Go to 48 Diamondback baseball games

Race in 48 races (well maybe)

Birthday Plans

It's a low key birthday. I'm sure I'll be getting some presents from family and we usually go out to eat in the evening. But, tonight I have a softball tournament and I'm still watching my weight because of Viv's Weight Loss Challenge that doesn't end until Sunday. I'm in first and would like to get first pick of the really cool prizes she's lined up. So, the dinner has been postponed until sometime next week.

Last Nites Run

It was just a short 2 miler. I ran it all, except for the very end when I walked a bit before turning my secret agent GPS unit off (Garmin). It was cold here, around 65 and I was freezing. I ended up wearing my PF Chang's Rock and Roll sweat shirt over my running shirt. It's nice to have the cooler temps. But, I'm the kind of guy that complains when it's too cold and complains when it's too hot. Luckily, I complain to myself. And occasionally on this blog.

So, remember to give me some ideas for my 48th year on this planet.
