7:00 and no longer obese (according to the CDC)!

I'm in a stream-of-consciousness mood, so I'm just going to write in bulletpoints:

• I'm at a 7:00 mile, so I think I'm where I need to be.
• I'm no longer obese according to the CDC, which states that a BMI > 30 is obese.  Still a ways to go...maybe 30-40 more pounds.
• I signed up for the Shamrock'n Half-Marathon on March 15th as a way to commit to putting in the long runs that I need for training.  Anyone who wants to join me is welcome.
• I'm thinking about signing up for the Lodi Mile at the end of March to see where I'm at and see how I respond to race conditions.
• I had a successful interview with UCSC, so I don't think I'm going to go 0/18 in PhD applications, thankfully.
• I want to start paying friends to lose weight.  I've offered a couple people the chance and surprisingly both people declined.  Humans never cease to amaze me.  

That's it for now.  I don't know if people get geeked out on training techniques or diet, but I'm happy to share what I'm doing if anyone is interested.
