Clean Blog, Clean Start</h2>
OK, deleting all the old posts may have been a bit extreme. I'm sure they still exist somewhere out in the archives and will show up to haunt me if I ever do anything as stupid as run for public office. I'm not worried about that. But I did find it a distraction to see what I was accomplishing years ago or the many times I had tried to get started again.<br />
<br />
Ignoring the past, here is what I will post going forward.<br />
<br />
<ol>
<li>Monthly progress whether it is miles run, weight lost, or strength gains.</li>
<li>Adventures like the old race reports or travel reports.</li>
<li>Notes on equipment, events, or other things I learn along the way.</li>
</ol>
<br />
<h3>
Current Status and Changes this Year</h3>
I have to say not the best start to my year, but things started picking up in April. I still cannot run well and may never be a runner again. But I am getting more active and feeling better.<br />

<b>Weight</b> - 275, down from 283 in early January<br />
<b>Strength Training</b> - Working into phase II of my 10-week cycle. I joined Planet Fitness last month and have done well getting in for strength training about 4 days a week.<br />
