Been a Long Time

Feb 02, 2011

OK, so it's been a long time since I posted.  Life has been busy with kids having choir, swimming, piano lessons, and dance lessons.  Not to mention the recitals for all of those, having any time before 8pm is nearly impossible.  For that reason I now get up at 3am most days to exercise, six out of seven to be exact. 

I have decided to do the "gofar challenge" in the Fargo Marathon.  That is doing the 5k, which I will be running with my 7 year old daughter and then the next day doing the half marathon.  I have a goal of finishing the half in under 2 hours so I am training hard to make sure I reach that goal.  A friend of mine and myself have also entered a "Tough Mudder" competition that is in Wisconsin on July 23rd.  If you don't know what this is just google it, basically what it is is a 8 mile long obstacle course designed by British special ops.  There is fire, mud, and electrocution involved for starters.  Once you see what that is you will know why I am training six days a week, failure is not an option in my world any more.  Thanks also to this training I am way below my goal of 200. I am at 180 with only 13% body fat, not bad since only 11 months ago I was 320 with 40+% fat.

Busy life, busy world, but with the new me I would have it no other way.  Life is definitely good.
