Hello True Believers!     Well I just turned 41 on October 17th, and this past Sunday (10/20/2103), I completed my 3rd Full Marathon! Which is nice, because this Saturday, I will be running my 3rd Half Marathon, and two weeks after that, I will be doing my 4th Half Marathon.  That being said, below is my video recap of an AMAZING day!       Here is the pic I am talking about where I am at mile 25.2 and I was talking to myself, just saying my mantra over and over, "My Time, My Shine!"       -Until The Wheels Fall Off   - Corey (3 Days removed from my 3rd Marathon, 3 days until my 3rd Half Marathon)

Hello True Believers,   Here is my video blog discussing the side of weight loss that no one ever talks about but is vital so we don't yo-yo in our weight. It is the adjustment in the way we see our new selves as well as changing our relationship with food to incorporate maintaining the weight loss as a permanent part of the new us. Enjoy! Me transformation, thus far...even now, I am down to 206...only 6 more pounds until I hit my final, long term goal! Me taking advantage of some very un-Louisville, KY (highs in the 80's! Usually we're around 110-120 with the heat index) weather last week and working out on the back deck.     -Until the Wheels Fall Off -Corey

Hello True Believers!     Because I wanted to try something different, here is my race recap, via video. Below are some pictures of the day :) Me, pre-race at home, before heading out! Going up the Water Slide It was so long, I couldn't even get it all in one shot! The Finish Line   Me and Allison...one of the most kindhearted people you will EVER meet! This has become our Waterfront Challenge traditional pre-race handshake! Me and Allison's Husband Daniel....standing next to him I was reminded I need to hit the gym HARDER! :)   Me with my new Bling!     -Until The Wheels Fall Off -Corey

Hello True Believers!                 So I have been working on a LOT since last I wrote. My weight loss journey has exceeded what I thought I was capable of. Also, I am on verge of completing my Personal Trainer Certification, and I still maintain my 3.96 GPA at Kaplan as I pursue my Bachelor of Science in Nutrition Health. My ultimate goal is to be a Certified Personal Trainer who is also a Registered Dietitian. I want to be someone who can help others with more than just working out, but making a complete lifestyle change and bring motivation to them.                 So New Year’s Eve 2012, I was fed up. I hated that people called me “Big Guy”, or “Big Man” I knew I was better than my almost 260 pounds frame. I also knew if my future as a registered dietitian and Personal Trainer would have a hope of being successful, I needed...

Hello True-Believers!      Here it is everyone! My wonderful wife, Damary, ran her FIRST Half-Marathon, this past Saturday! I didn't think I would be able to describe her first Half-Marathon, any better than her! So here is here write up and I would just like to Thank her for this and let her know how INCREDIBLY proud of her I am! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Hi Everyone…          I am not great with words…but since I was flying solo on this race…Corey can’t do the write up for me. J          So here goes….          I didn’t get excited for the Derby Half until I got the email with my bib number, than I was feeling the excitement, nervousness and anxiety that comes with a person’s first Half Marathon!         Packet Pick...

Hello True Believers,                 I had been ready to do the write-up for Damary and the Papa John’s 10 Miler, but then the tragedy in Boston happened, and considering I went to college and lived in Boston, it was a lot to take in. I also didn’t want to not finish what I had started in describing running the Louisville Triple Crown of Running for the first time with my wife. So race morning came and we had our routine down now. We headed out to Papa John’s Cardinal Stadium and got our parking and took our time heading to the bathroom and getting our place at the Starting Line. Along the way, my rockstar wife ran into some friends and we all talked to each other, not acknowledging and pre-race jitters we were all feeling. Then, just like that it was time to start. This course and race would not only prove to be Damary’s longest road race, but it is EASILY the hardest terrain she would be facing (i.e....
