Nerd Fitness 6 week challenge!

So, I’ve been pretty unhappy with myself lately and found this 6 week challenge and decided to join in, so here goes:

I’m 6’4”, 290 pounds or so, 43 years old and a frequent gamer and overall geek. I used to be a football player and wrestler and at one time was in pretty good shape. I’ve let that slip and I feel pretty crappy about it. I work at a University and have recently started running again at the urging of my intern. I want to get more fit and lose some of this weight. I’m an Adventurer Noob. Not sure what class I want to be, but I gotta start somewhere.

1. Lose 10 pounds - I’m starting at 290 and I now I need to drop quite a few more to be healthier.
2. Finish 1.5 mile run with no stopping/puking/dying - I’m able to do about .75 now, so this would be a doubling of my distance.
3. Take the stairs at work - I’m on the third floor and unless I’m carrying equipment, I’ll be taking the stairs.

4. Eliminate coffee from my routine - I drink way too much and I know I need to stop.

Here we go!
