About Me


Hi there,

I'm Sam and I'm a runner.  I'm a 244 lb runner, but a runner still.  I'm preparing for my first half marathon in September and my first full marathon in February 2014.  In the process of preparing for these races, I'm looking to drop to my first weight loss goal of 225 lbs.  I've already come down from 287, which is a victory of itself.

Me and the kids at my first race of 2013
I'm a husband and father, looking to improve in all phases of my life.  I have battled my weight for a long time and I struggle regularly with eating right.  I love pasta, bread, sweets, you name it.  But, running and my determination not to quit, has helped me and continues to help me to do that.

This is my journey's home base and I hope that you will come visit from time to time.  Feel free to subscribe to my blog and join me on my journey to accomplishing a couple of goals that I set in 2012.  One of the main purposes of my blog is to help inspire others to set goals and work diligently to achieve them.  I'll be talking about my experiences throughout this journey and hopefully you can gain something from them as a newer or heavier runner.

Throughout my journey, I'll also be reviewing different products, as I'm actively looking for the perfect mix of aid and gear to help me in my training and performance in races.  So you will benefit from me already testing  a product before you try it.

Please note, I am an affiliate for products that I have used and those that work well for me throughout my training.  I do not believe in promoting products that I have not used or do not believe in.  I am currently an affiliate for Amazon.com, Under Armour and Brooks Running.  Feel free to click through those links and enjoy benefits and discounts from my partnership with these companies and your subscription to my blog.

I look forward to interacting with you and building a community of determined people who won't stop until their goal has been achieved.  I hope that my triumphs and trials can encourage you in your own personal journey.  Thanks for visiting and ...

WELCOME!! WELCOME!! WELCOME!!

    Hello Sam,
    Just a quick email to ask if you would be interested in a ‘mutual’ following on twitter. (#FYI I do RT’s ‘ANYTIME’ for all #Triathletes #Cyclists #UltraRunners #Marathoners #FitnessProfessionals who follow me on Twitter and have something important they want mentioned for support…Over 41K folks at your access.) I am currently following you now and am awaiting for your follow-back...

    All the very best to you & your family for the rest of 2013 & beyond Sam. Look forward to hearing from you…

    (PS. Sam, should you follow back, I'll be mentioning you in my #FollowFriday #Shoutouts this week...)
