I do feel better. Taking up running has helped, and I'm actually starting to identify with the sport and the culture.
Tomorrow morning, I'm running a local five-miler. I'm already running 10K distances with decent pace, so I may shoot for a half-marathon in the spring.
Anything above 13 miles, I'm not too interested in. The training and the toll on the body are more than I have time for right now.

That is fantastic, Guyon. It's not easy to do, no matter what the program. I'll hand it to you on even considering a 1/2 marathon, I never shot for anything more than a 10k. Farthest I ever ran was an 8.5 mile leg of a relay race around the famed Lake Winnipesaukee.....that was tough; not one flat spot on the whole leg. Good on ya for getting yourself slimmed down. How long did it take to shed that weight?

Breakfast of champions. Sound like a fishin' breakfast, you know when you're trying to get out of the house at 0-dark-thirty to go fishing and just grab whatever.

During a deployment for Kosovo, I worked for a Lt. Colonel that started each day with a Mountain Dew and two individual-sized bags of lays potato chips. Wiry dude and spastic as all get-out. The JTF Chief of Staff (one-star at the time, now Commandant of the Marine Corps) made a comment that this explained why Jim was so hyper...and yet the morning ritual continued. He snarfed them down during the morning staff meeting...
 
Nice pic ray!!

That 1311 is also a big one for sure, I had one and sold it, i wish swamp rat made an 11" or 13" blade with micarta. I tried multiple times with that res-c and i just cant get into it, but i wish i could id really be all over the 1111 at 1/4"

About five months. Yesterday was day 135 on MFP, so that's a bit over four months. I've lost 48 pounds during that span. In the three or four weeks before I started MFP and C25K, I lost 5-6 pounds on my own, mainly walking and hiking.

That is impressive. Congratulations on the "new you".
 
The bird doesn't stand a chance. Even if it were a pterodactyl, it wouldn't be close.:D
