I can't wait to get muddy with you sweetie!  That looks like it is going to be so much fun!! 

Hope you two have similar size reqs for the bicycle. You've got to share for the event - part of the challenge!  Also some heel-lock style athletic (or duct) tape does a lot to make sure you clear the pit with both shoes still on.

Bummer.

i've been skipping the gym a lot more than i would like too lately...

now i feel guilty 

I'm approaching my self-appointed October 1 deadline to get back to the gym/bikes/fitness of any kind.

I decided to give myself some time off after that last century ride in August.

I started to think this thread was a jynx.   I was lazy over last winter.   Like 15 pounds lazy.


it's gone.   now running 15 minute 2 miles and 24 minute 5ks.     but it's a constant battle.   So no bragging.  we all fight for every bit of it.

keep at it folks.

What he said. ^

Summer came and went and, aside from moving, I did pretty much nuthin.

Went out on The Boat for a couple of weeks earlier this month and got so bored I decided to work out. I don't know if you know this, but that's REALLY bored.

I don't typically care what scales say I weigh. I just like that my clothes are starting to fit better. Having more energy is nice, too.

I've got my semi-annual fitness test coming up in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know how I do. May of this year was the first time my 1.5 mile run time was more than 12 minutes. My goal is <11.5.

good luck james

i started back at the gym 2 days ago
i hurt

What I did to get fit...  I took a picture which I call "Fat John" and I put a copy on my mirror in the bath and on my monitor so I would see it every day.  (No Randy, I will NOT post that for your amusment  ).

I lost 30 lbs from it.

I keep the pictures up as a reminder of why I will never go to that again and to motivate me daily to either go to the gym, or get on the rower that is next to my desk.

It works.
