I Like to Ride My Bicycle...

This entry was posted on 5/14/2007 9:37 PM and is filed under uncategorized.

Well well well.

I'm still alive so I guess that means it's time to endanger my health for the betterment of mankind once again...

In the quick update department:

I'm still flirting with 350... which I decided was healthy to take a few weeks off and stablize since I lost 90 pounds for 90 days straight.  And since I've watched a few episodes of SCRUBS on television during a few nights of insomnia, I feel I'm overly qualified to make a clinical decision of that magnitude.

I'm heading back to Wisconsin tomorrow for the summer.  It's going to be a big summer full of wild beekeeping antics and hopefully some fat beekeeping profits.

My plan is to totally revamp this website into a format that looks like it wasn't created by 2nd grader.  I'm also going to attempt to update the blog more often as an outlet for the voices in my head...

Do you like videos??

We've got videos!

Come on down. Come on down.

Yes I'm going to try to include some videos into the mix as well.




And the moment that nobody has been waiting for; my next event...


I'm going to bicycle 140 miles straight in September.


What's that you say?  Not sexy and / or dangerous enough for you?


I've got you covered...


I forgot to mention it's going to be a TANDEM bike ride.


Now we're talking.


It's going to be a 140-mile TANDEM bike ride in September.


I'm still searching for a reinforced bike but I can only assume that it's going to end up looking something like this...





So there you have it... whatever IT is.


I'll be back in a week or so to fill you in on more details.


Until then, live.

  Very good to hear from you. You are setting a very interesting goal. I hope you find a seat that is confortable because I have been looking everywhere for one and just can't find one. So waiting for your results on finding one. Thank you. Keep up the good work.

  You have totally inspired me! After reading your website a few weeks ago, I've challenged all my friends to train for a 50 mile bike ride wiht me (I do better in groups than solo). It's totally not as cool as the 140 tandem ride, but it'll be an acheivement none the less.
  
  Please keep writing, you keep me motivated.
  
  P.S. If I wasn't mostly lesbian I'd have the biggest crush on you.

  At last, word from Jacob! I had begun to give up...even as far as feeling that we've been abandoned - Jacob's loyalist group. After the big climatic event...puff! No word, no info, not a peep about post-marathon.
  
  So glad you've been at a self imposed plateu...this is very good for the metabolisim and another weight loss cluster.
  
  What is the goal this time? 50? 75? 90 lb. loss?
  
  The bicycle event sounds good, but I agree - test out various seats first!
  
  Yeah Jabob!!! - from the Lady in Spain

  Hey Jacob,
  Good to hear of your latest endeavor. Just keep telling yourself that YOU CAN DO THIS!! You ran Boston, for crying out loud!!! Since I ran Chicago in 2005, I feel like I can do anything (although sadly I've slacked off with running over the past year...).
  Take care of yourself, and keep us all updated on your progress. You truly are an inspiration to those who want to get up and change their lives, but just don't quite know how. Like Nike, you "just do it" .
  Rock on, Jacob!

  I think I get it. You're going to release the bees, hop on your bike, and ride for 140 miles as fast as you can... and film it. Is that it?
  
  Don't forget to wear a cape like the guy in the picture.

  you should walk or bike to Mexico!! or find a biking or marathoning event in Mexico-- I think it'd be a fun twist and a reason to travel!

  You inspire me. I'm on the weight loss - get back in shape thing too. I've lost 49 lbs since January 10 and am training for my first triathlon. And then a marathon.

  Awesome on the bike ride!
  
  Like others, you've inspired me too Jacob. I'm way overweight (294 lb) for a 21 year old 5'5 female. After seeing you do it, I'm now in training and doing the Chicago marathon this October! Even keeping a blog as a journal like you have. I'm actually doing it, I'm in shock and awe of all that I've done so far and what is ahead in training. Never in a million years would I have tnought I would ever do something like this, never.
  
  Thanks for finally inspiring me enough to make a change in my life. Nothing has inspired me enough before, and it seems like this whole marathon thing is working for me, so thank you so much, I really can't thank you enough. You've made me see that things can be better in regards to health and quality of life, and I'm finally changing things for the better
  
  Best of luck to you in your training! I'll be keeping tabs on your training while I'm doing the same!

  As a runner who pays and/or earns being able to enter races, I have always been a bit upset about the bandit runners. HOWEVER, you deserved to run Boston!! Bravo for working on being a healthier person, bravo for finishing a race distance that a very small percentage of the world's population will ever attempt, let alone finish. I more than likely will never qualify to run Boston, I'm just too slow. But if I had one of those cool medals, I'd send it to you!! Take care and keep being such an inspiration to others. Speaking of which, have you thought about Team in Training?? I bet your celebrity at this point would really help you get the donations. Good luck to you in all you do.

  hey man, I just wanted to let you know how totally awesome I think you are. I could never run a marathon-- it's not the physical aspect that gets me but the mental aspect, I just don't have what it takes past 12.
  
  You're astoundingly awesome. Seriously, I'm amazed.
  
  Please take care of your health, man. Surely if you can do that RIDICULOUSLY TORTUROUS thing, you can run two miles a day for the rest of your life and eat piles of chicken breasts and spicy vegetables.
  
  I'm trying to do the same thing... maybe more modest goals are suited to non-ubermenschen like me.

  Way to go JACOB - Abandon all of your online supporters.
