Geezzz. Think you left out stunt driver, sky diver, shark handler and all round bad ass!! -
I started training for the Soweto marathon last week. Now I am no runner and have not been active in any sense since 2005. I started a business, and all time and energy was spend to build it. My health went to the dogs in this time. I am currently on depression, cholesterol, BP and pain medication. My weight ballooned to 119 kgs a few weeks ago. BP at all time high 160/105 when on medication. But after seeing a picture of myself that my wife took, I decided that I need to pull my finger out my backside and start getting serious about getting healthy! Part of my decision was to train for a marathon in November, and Comrades (89kms) middle of next year. I switched my diet to a plant based vegan, so no artificial foods or anything. Just healthy fresh fruits and vegetables, and some smoothies after training. I am for now following a Heart beat running program until I am at a better weight( currently doing 140 HR for one hour per day/6 days) to start going into cardio(150 HR) So I will update weekly on my stats: - Weight at start of program 3 weeks ago - 119kg - Current weight - 111kg - training 6 days per week for one hour/day at HB 140 - Goal - to run a full marathon on November 4 2013 - Comrades 2014

Ek is nie nederlands nie, maar praat Afrikaans in Suid Afrika. Kan darem lees en verstaan wat julle se. My ouma was Nederlands!!

Well you now have a good base to work from. I look much "worse"!! I will start a training journal next week. I am still in my first week of training. Gone plant based Vegan about 3 weeks ago, and the weight is falling off by the day. So far I have lost 7 kgs. So keep on posting your progress!! Maybe you and me should start a challenge to see what we will look like December? BTW - training for my first marathon in November 2013. I stopped all exercise and everything healthy, and now I'm paying for it. On various medications etc. But will be back very soon!!

Thanks MF! Yeah Bruce is a living legend in the sport. I have met him a few times. Very nice guy and always helpful! I will start a log under running. What started me to get back into running after many years was reading the book from Scott Jurek. Also a serious legend in my book. Currently busy with Rich Rolls book. Starting with my marathon training program on Monday! Let the fun begin!!

Hi All, Well only a plant based vegan for around 3 weeks. Decided that I need to get off my ass and do something. On 9 different prescribed medications per day. My first goal is to do a marathon in early November 2013 and then the big one: Comrades next year. (http://www.comrades.com/) Looking forward to learn from the forum. Stats: Weight - 115kg (254 pounds) 1.8 m tall BMI of around 34.
