Oh The Places You'll Go...

This entry was posted on 3/27/2007 2:44 PM and is filed under uncategorized.

    I definately burned myself out this week.  I went into hibernation and took some time off... as you can see from the lack of activity on the blog lately.

    My fault.

    It was more downs than ups this week so I really just needed to clear my head for this final push coming up.

    But like the Phoenix rising from the proverbial ashes - I'm back!  I've been getting slapped in the face with all types of motivational support.  I can't believe I've had so many people send their encouragement my way.  Literally hundreds of people have taken time out of their schedule to write me over the past week.

    It's insane!

    Thank you from the bottom of my massive heart.  You've really left me no choice but to finish the marathon. 



    Back on track...

    I'm weighing in somewhere between the mid-360's.  And I've started to run a little bit more.  I still need to tread lightly with the catastrophic impact on my knees but it's nice to be outside all the same.  I'll probably hop back on the bike sometime next week but I need a break.

    Me and Savage Henry had a HUGE falling out.  We're just two different entities going in two different directions.  It's hard emotionally for both of us.  We've been through a lot together... all the tears and tight hamstrings.

    I think I'd like to bronze The Savage One and throw him up on the wall.  He deserves no less.

    On a side note...

    Somebody brought this to my attention.  And despite the uncanny resemblance... this person has no ties to my family (much to my very real and not sarcastic surprise).

                                                


    I can only assume that we are twins and that we were torn apart at birth.  He clearly lives in the Canary Islands and lives an extravagant lifestyle as a trial laywer.  He lives in a palace and jet-sets around the globe in an orgy of perfection.

    I also believe it's safe to conclude that he's been plotting my very demise. He is the snake to my mongoose.  The yin to my yang.

    But that's enough psychotic episodes for one day.  I'm going for a run.  I'll let you know how it turns out...

  Glad you are back, Jacob...you keep us wondering. Hope you have some sort of elastic support for your knees?
  
  Hey, it really looks like you will make your goal of loosing 100 lb. Every pound you loose will make it just that little bit easier for you at the marathon.
  
  When do we get a new video??

  If that dude in the picture is your nemesis and is coming after you, I think it's safe to say you can now outrun him.
  
  If he comes after you in water, however, you're probably screwed. I advise hiring bodyguards.

  I've ignored the crude and often juvenile language here since I've been following Jacob's progress - afterall it is not my blog. It's really quite boring at best - far more saddening that this represents what is lacking in society today. But lately it's really gone too far.
  
  Here it is closer and closer to the big event and a few pathetic, uneducated souls hide behind the comfort zone of anonymity with their stupidity. Crudeness and ignorance is best ignored. But I just can't resist.
  
  I suspect some of the juvenile responses here are from the teeny group...'f' words abound (here's where lack of education comes in - they can't express themselves any other way. These people can't utter a sentence without profanity. Mental dullards.)
  
  To 'fat people are fun to laugh at'. In reality, people like you are far more entertaining. I hope you do finish school one day. It will be helpful.
  
  You silly folk take pleasure in trying to discourage someone who is doing something positive in their life - making healthy lifestyle changes for a cause but in effect the cause is just the trigger. He's grasping his life, recognizing his responsibility (in the weight gain) and doing something RESPONSIBLE about it in a fantastic, admirable way.
  
  In contrast, you anonymous (or other similar masks) - what have you done lately that would make the rest of us stand up and applause???
  
  You know what...you (plural) sound like you have problems of your own. The biggest one, I suspect is envy.
  --------
  To Jacob - as always, I am sending you warm vibes and my sincerest encouragement. I REALLY hope your quest for a healthy weight continues beyond the marathon. In my heart I know you will. You've learned soooo much along your very important path!!!

        You reacted rather much as I predicted. How funny! See, as I said people like you are quite entertaining.
        
        No, I am not a 'cow', still have an hourglass figure and can still wear the same size I had when I was much younger.
        
        You of course, can't fathom anyone following Jacob's blog or 'letting you verbally have it' NOT being quite overweight. You assume too much...umm now what does that make you?
        
        I am pleased you understood my last message. I was wondering if there were too many 'big words'.
        
        There is an American expression I like that sometimes is really to the point:
        
        Get a life.
