The conclusion and victory of the biggest loser competition has given me motivation to continue in my rather strange quest to become a boxer. Thus begins a second chapter in a blog which, rather hopefully, will end in me boxing. In my estimation, a boxer (above all things) must have stamina. Thus, it would do me no good to enter into a ring with a body that needs to go 10 rounds but can only stand up to 1. Thus, before I even seek training in a ring, I figure I must first build myself into something that has the ability to hammer out 10 kilometers worth of pavement without stopping and in steady form. Enter the Sunburst Races.
The Race is May 31st, which gives me a little under two months to prepare. The course looks fun. As far as I can tell, it’s a challenge to run 4 miles for me, I have never trained outside and I’ve never run in a “race” in my life. I wasn’t involved in a single high school or college sport - so, this will be my first competitive race ever.
If anyone knows how to train for these things, now would be a good time to tell me what to do over the next few months. :)

You’re the man now, dog.
But seriously, I’m really, really impressed with the analytical (not to mention physical and mental) effort you so obviously have heretofore expended. Keep it up… and maybe you’ll be able to back up that big mouth with a right hook of equal proportions :)
