June 5, 201214 yr I started dieting and exercising on Jan 1 and am down about 65 lbs. My next goal is to run the Bluegrass 10,000 in under 64 minutes. That is a long way from my original goal of simply completing a 5k. I still need to lose another 60 lbs to reach my weight goal
June 5, 201214 yr Author I started dieting and exercising on Jan 1 and am down about 65 lbs. My next goal is to run the Bluegrass 10,000 in under 64 minutes. That is a long way from my original goal of simply completing a 5k. I still need to lose another 60 lbs to reach my weight goal Very cool! Keep up the good work. You must feel a lot better. I have no doubt you can hit that goal with ease.
June 5, 201214 yr Author Signing up today for the Vegas Marathon. Strip at Night. I really wish I could qualify for Boston but I am nowhere near being able to accomplish that. Shooting to break 3:30.
June 5, 201214 yr I need a good goal but I haven't found anything that interests me, yet. I have lost 20 lbs. in just over 3 weeks. Working out like crazy...but not real goal besides having a good softball season.

June 5, 201214 yr Signing up today for the Vegas Marathon. Strip at Night. I really wish I could qualify for Boston but I am nowhere near being able to accomplish that. Shooting to break 3:30. Had a friend that just ran in Boston but she's a beast, she is the type that would work out in the morning before work and then teach a fitness class at night as well. As for me I'm working a normal 8-4:30 m-f schedule for another 3 weeks and it's made it so easy to make it to the gym at least 5 days a week.

June 5, 201214 yr Sounds like me the past year and half. Minus the "beast" level. Yea she was a soccer player turned beauty pageant queen now converted to a workaholic/fitness freak..... Beautiful girl, single, successful but I think almost too driven towards success.

Beautiful girl, single, successful but I think almost too driven towards success. It is trait you find in all these people. Most that do the IM races are doctors, lawyers, etc. The median income was extremely high and almost all had an advanced degree of somekind. Besides being beautiful, single, or successful, you are describing me though I doubt my pending success :lol:
June 5, 201214 yr 60 HRs. I hit 2 in the first game so I'm on a good pace! I only hit 3 over all last season...should be able to break my single-season record :lol:

Compared to everyone else here, I have a tiny goal, but it is still motivating me. Get out and run every day for 28 days---hopefully it will be a habit by then. On day 9......

Get out and run every day for 28 days---hopefully it will be a habit by then. On day 9...... I miss having come competition. I feel great about losing weight and getting back in shape but I need something to shoot for - some kind of sport or competition to get involved in. Does that make sense? I don't particularly like distance running or anything like that. So I'm still trying to find something to get involved in.
June 5, 201214 yr That is awesome. I can do them on a straight bar, but not rings. I tried one on a straight bar last week and it about killed my shoulder. Once I got the first one on the rings I knock out a few more. It definitely wasn't a strength issue but all technique.
