Run DRE


Andre ran the 200 in 22.25 seconds last Friday at Boston University. Althoughhe is not pleased with his time, it was the fastest he's run the 200 indoors sofar. He placed 19th out of a field of over 80 runners which I don't think isbad at all especially for a Freshman. He is most pleased with his time in the4x400. He ran his 400 in 48.2 seconds! Again, this is the fastest he has everrun the 400. It is even faster than his state championship time last June andthat was an outdoor race.Linda

All hail Joe

Hey U. My husband Joe lost two more pounds since his last weigh in.
Now two pounds isn't very much by most standards,
but it shows that despite setbacks on the program
he still made progress. I am proud of him.
He keeps plugging away
and even though I tell him I'm proud,
it feels good to tell you and others too.
He is an inspiration and a tremendous support
for me, and lots of young/new writers, and his friends,
and his co-workers
and his family and even to people he doesn't like all the time.
I am grateful he's in my life.

Let me tell you why this is important
Joe was once a big furniture moving, hard working furry sweaty teddy bear of a beautiful man
he's still big and furry and teddy bear like and still one of the most beautiful people alive.
But Joe became a corporate professional and his weigh became a massive problem. and all who love him we're deathly afraid. Joe went on a modified starvation diet, that is as risky as it can be benefical. He's not some twisted metrosexual or vain little girl starving them selves for vanity, this is life and death and sacrifice And even with his own body feeding on itself the weight doesn't come off fast, It's been a long slow painful process that sometimes makes me have to avoid my best friend.

We need to hear more of this
please continue
God bless

Hey everyone!
Andre beat his personal best times in both races he ran this past Saturday. Although he only came in second in the 400, he posted a time of 49.77. His team won the 4x400 relay and Andre beat his own record running his leg of the race in 49.1 seconds!

I've attached a couple of pictures taken at the event. You can go to the U of M internet site for more details.
