What’s up goal crusher! The redesign of 300 Pounds and Running is finally done. Please take a second to look around as some things have been added, moved or deleted. One of the first things you will notice is the new banner. Shout out to Pavement Runner for his expertise. In addition the new banner I added a few new tabs on the navigation bar (press, progress and contact) and updated the races tab. In the “press tab” you can find the all articles that I have been featured in. The “progress tab” you can find all my progress pictures and weigh-ins. All of my social media info and a place to get in touch with me directly are in the “contact tab”. Lastly the “race tab” will lead you to all my race times and pictures. Speaking of races I recently signed up for a half marathon. I will announce where and when tomorrow. Stay tuned because I have a lot of great content coming up. More motivation, inspiration and you might see a burpee or two or 100!

What’s up Goal Crusher,

I know that I haven’t posted in a while. That’s because I’m in the last stretch of my semester and things are getting a little hectic at school. Once the semester is over I will be back to the regular schedule program. Until then check out a couple of articles that I’ve been in the past months. Click the pics to go to the article….

Don’t call it a come back!

AH Yeah! Guess who back….back again! 300 P.A.R.’s back…back again. Guess who’s back…Guess who’s back…Guess who’s back…Guess who’s back…Yes I’m back!

Let me tell y’all something this has been a long and crazy December. Finals, papers, group projects, and presentations…OH MY! Yea if I had a ledge I would have jumped…I’m just playing. I don’t want anybody to think that I need to be on suicide watch or anything. The mess up thing is that after I finished all my finals, papers, and projects; I ended up getting pneumonia… That was crazy because I thought the only people who get pneumonia are babies, old people, and people in the hospital…I was wrong about that! Your boy was dead to the world for about a week and a half. I spent most of my days in the bed watching Netflix. I ended up watching at least two seasons of 24. Anyways I’m not quite fully recovered, I still have about 4 days of antibiotics left to take…I think I’m functioning at about 85% so the end is near. I want to say thanks to those who follow me on Twitter and Facebook who sent me all types of well wishes….I really appreciated them…I tried my best to respond to everybody but the meds had me in a different world. So this is me saying thanks! It’s great to be feeling back to my normal self. It’s time to go back to regular plan…

Y’all now I keep it real…so I gotta tell the truth and say that I haven’t gone for a run in while and when I say a while I mean Thanksgiving. Yes I haven’t ran since Thanksgiving…Things have been crazy and I know I can’t use that for an excuse…I need to get butt out there ASAP and run a mile, 5K, or something… I’ll keep y’all posted on whatever I decide to do.

Until Next Time I’m 300 Pounds and Running.

It’s Time to Be Real! 6 Krispy Kreme Doughnuts

December 22, 2017November 30, 2012 by Martinus Evans

I think it’s time to be real with you all and when I mean “you all” I really mean myself. My blog posts have been irregular just like the other aspects in my life. Yes, I am busy with school but am I really sooo busy; that I can’t pause for a second to see how I am doing. I can’t pause for a second to get a run in. I can’t pause for a second to get my nutrition right. When the semester got tough why do the things I love the most fall to the way side first? I need to do better, I got to do better. F**k it I am going to do better. I am not going back to the way I that I was. I saw it and I don’t like it. For example I bought a dozen Krispy Kreme doughnuts for a fund-raiser at school. I tried by best to give them away to friends, classmates, whoever, but just I kept eating them. Finally it hit me in the middle of the day I have eaten 4 and gave 2 away. 4 Krispy Kreme’s!!! Yes and you know what? I didn’t get any satisfaction after I ate them.

When I put the doughnut in my mouth, damn it tasted good…What am I saying…They tasted great, but when I swallowed the doughnut I felt empty. It didn’t satisfy me but the taste great. So I ate another one …same thing and another one…same thing. I eating these doughnuts I am not getting satisfied. Well why do you keep eating them? Umm because they are Krispy Kreme Doughnuts and they taste great. That’s when it hit me! My body is changing and it’s not giving me satisfaction for eating them but my mind is still expecting to be satisfied and it didn’t happen. It left me confused…Why am I doing this to myself? I am not going to feeling satisfied after eating 6 or 16 doughnuts.

That’s when I told myself to be real with you all which really mean to be real with myself. I am not perfect….far from it. I struggle with sweets, cakes, cookies and etc. Consider it my drug of choice. I have tried to kick the habit cold turkey and I had a relapses. My problem is my thinking… I still believe sweets give me a reward. But I ate a half box of Krispy Kreme doughnuts and all I felt was emptiness. Well why did you keep eating them? Because the taste of Krispy Kreme Doughnuts brings me to a special place; a place where I had no control of what I eat. A place where I got joy out of sweets; that place no longer exists but my mind doesn’t know that… BTW as I write this I can taste the Krispy Kreme Doughnuts. I’m just being real with you all so I can be real with myself. I still have a long journey ahead of me, I still need to take this journey one day at a time.

Until next time I’m 300 Pounds and Running!

Long Time No See! I Weathered Hurricane Sandy

December 22, 2017October 30, 2012 by Martinus Evans

Hell y’all long time no see! It was has been a very busy and trying couple of weeks. With midterms to deal with, a conference over the weekend (Be on the lookout for a post about it), then I had to hurry home to prepare for Hurricane Sandy. As the storm progressed, my girlfriend and I sat in the dark and drank Moscato by candle light. I want to let everyone know that we are safe and we weathered the storm. Btw, I thank everyone who checked on me via twitter and text message. In the next couple of days expect, two race recaps, a giveaway and a guest post; just to name a few things that I have in store for y’all. Thank you for your patience I will talk to y’all soon.

Until Next Time I’m 300 Pounds and Running

In Search of Clarity

December 22, 2017October 23, 2012 by Martinus Evans

I had a lot on my mind and my heart last week, so I kind of disappeared off the face of the earth for a while. While on my hiatus I went to Detroit to visit my family and I went to see my father. As he sits there in a semi-veggie state I ask him, if he knew who I was. Yes, he responded. Then I asked him, what’s my name? He looks at me like he wants to say something but nothing comes out. So we sit and stared at each other for about 20 minutes. Nothing was said we just sat there…So many thoughts going through my mind…So many questions I want answered, but I know nothing can be answered. At the end of the 20 minutes I got up to leave. Before I left out the room; I said to him, “I forgive you.” Then I left the room and got in the car. I told myself that I’m not shedding a single tear this time. Hopefully by saying I forgive him; it was my hope that I could wash my hands of the situation. I really need to move on from it, because it’s affecting my quality of life ….I just need a moment of clarity and I hope by showing forgiveness I will get that. It’s imperative that I find the clarity. Because I will not let this life event put a negative spin on everything else that going right in my life. Hell on Wednesday I weighed myself and found out that I am 30 pounds down.

However, I was so wrapped up in my thoughts I couldn’t pull myself to celebrate. My first guest post went live over the weekend …and I didn’t feel happy about it. So for the sake of my happiness I hope that I find a resolve for this situation soon.

Until next time I’m 300 Pounds and Running
