Even with two marathons and several other half marathons in 2009 I seem to have used every excuse in the book to slack off. And look where it has gotten me! I&#8217;ve gained 40 pounds over the last couple of years! That is half the weight I lost in 2002\/2003. I have no one to blame but myself. I realize that I gained weight during training for every one of the 5 marathons I have run in the last couple years. Running gave me an excuse to overeat. I stopped tracking my calories and keeping the carbs in check. Well, it&#8217;s time to face the mirror. That&#8217;s why I have my pictures below. I need to see what everyone else is seeing.<\/p>\n<div><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/S0enwjlUK0I\/AAAAAAAAB_o\/ryCgDUhX5Ig\/s1600-h\/Photo+1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/S0enwjlUK0I\/AAAAAAAAB_o\/ryCgDUhX5Ig\/s400\/Photo+1.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424488728818363202\" style=\"display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 353px; height: 400px; \" \/><\/a><br \/><a onblur=\"try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}\" href=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/S0enwadxQxI\/AAAAAAAAB_g\/wwjWagoPSpc\/s1600-h\/Photo+3.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_kufElHa-EkM\/S0enwadxQxI\/AAAAAAAAB_g\/wwjWagoPSpc\/s400\/Photo+3.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5424488726370796306\" style=\"display: block; margin-top: 0px; margin-right: auto; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: auto; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 282px; height: 400px; \" \/><\/a>It isn&#8217;t pretty and I feel terrible.
