Make it by Midnight half marathon

I've never run that far for that long in my life.  Nothing was chasing me except the clock.  At 45 years of age I ran in my first ever marathon, all be it a half - 13.1 miles.  It was 97 degrees when Anna and I started running.  Heat, Hills & Humidity...reminds me of another word that starts with 'H'! 
The most astonishing part of this feat was not that I finished but that I was even able to begin.

Here are the after (sort of - I've dropped 10 pounds since the above pic in the yellow) 

The before pic was a few years ago at our Church Camp.  I was shocked when I saw these pics.  My buddy Brett in the above pic with me told me last week that he used to call me his "pudgy preacher pal"! 

Not any more Brett! 

God brought an amazing tree into our lives called the morniga olifera tree.  The first company to bring it to market in the US is called Zija.  Beth and I began taking zija around the time of Emma's birth - a bit over 2 years ago.  As of last week's weigh in at the gym, we've lost just shy of 200 total combined pounds.  That's 20 pounds more than I weigh now!

We did it by laying a foundation of solid nutrition from the moringa tree.  I'm not saying zija smart mix did it but oddly enough, Beth has been able to come off of all medications to lower b/p...she used to be on 3!

We've been able to help many people gain health, make a regular residual income, shed unhealthy pounds and negative side effects.  It may or may not be for you but you owe it to yourself to check it out.  They have a money back guarantee.  You've got nothing to lose but bad health.

 

Well, it's only been a year since my last post! 
These are some pics of our vacation 2012 in Blue Ridge GA.  Zack came home and he brought...a girl!  Andrea is a sweet young lady who loves God and somewhow loves Zack too.  We had a great time in a large cabin up in the north GA mountains for a week.  God has been so good to us.
I loved my 'hair style' here but alas my wife did not so I'm growing it back.  We're in the awkward fuzz stage right now.   I miss not having any hair but Beth even likes the fuzz that is finding its way back.
Go figure:)
