My "Coming Out" Party

Originally uploaded by danleone.


This is me on the day of my first road race in over 6 years. I ran the Race for the Cure in Boston this past weekend.

This is an important time for me as I have recently lost a bajilion pounds and being in running shape just validates the whole tortuous process for me.

The race was only 5K. But there were 9,000,000 runners which makes going fast almost impossible (unless I was in the top 10…not likely).

So please join me in congratulating me on a job well done.

Damn, I am bushy!

Oh, and yes, those two books behind my right ear are Al Franken’s. I apologize to my non-pinko-commie liberal readers….both of you.

    Considering that I’m already out of breath running on a treadmill, I think that’s one damn fine achievement! Congratulations! :-)

    Very impressive! You should be very proud of yourself. I haven’t worked out since July but now I am inspired to get back into that again.
