Half of Phil

I've started a new book, Elephant In the Room , by FB buddy and local columnist Tommy Tomlinson . I've been following his journey of writing it for several years and read lots of excerpts.  All of the reviews on his website are great and what I've read of it so far is great.  In college I had a buddy, Matt, and we'd routinely tell each other to get out of my head because one or the other of us would be saying something the other thought or knew already.  I've experienced that at lot in the book.  His thoughts and experiences are very similar to mine. One thing that caught my attention in the book and I just confirmed it with the CDC, but I'm now just severely obese, which may not sound like much but when you figure I started beyond morbidly obese in the 'super' obese category I'll take it. I've gotten signed up for a 5K in Feb , April and August .  Just need to find one for June and October then I'll have one lined up for every 2 months

Our new year is gearing up!  Soccer season starts back Monday.  I'm hoping to get the lights on the house down this afternoon.  We've had some fairly warm weather but it's been pretty rainy. My son wants to do more 5ks so we've been looking at those for this year.  We are thinking of doing one every other month.  We have one to target for Feb, Apr and Aug so far.  In August we are signed up for a mud run Should be an interesting experience. Next committed update 1/24
