Each year we try to take our family on some sort of vacation. Lots of times it’s somewhere fairly close by but other years when we can we try to go a bit further. Usually my wife and I decide where to go and what fun things to do while we’re there. Typically Jen does most ofContinue reading “My family went to Ottawa and all I got was this colostomy”

A New Person, New Attitude, and New Goals
Seven and a half months of hard work and change have finally paid off. This morning when I weighed myself I’ve finally hit my goal.

Yesterday I ran a somewhat new route. I’d covered most of it before but just combined it a different way. I was really happy with it.
