I have committed to compete in three physical events by the end of the this year...I may increase it depending how everything goes. So here they are, documented so I have to follow through and not flake.

| Relay for Life-- May 17th. An all night run/walk relay in support of Cancer research and to remember those who lost to cancer. My work is participating, and it is something I've always wanted to do. Cancer is the only illness that you can be the most healthy person on the planet and still get it...really sad. I am running for all my fellow coworkers who have cancer and for friends of mine I've lost. |

| Meet me down Town Night run 5k-- this will be the first 5k I've run. Every year I say I am going to run a 5k, and this year I am going to make it happen. Mark and lily will be running with me. I'm excited! June 1st |

GTX Fitness Challenge-- June 15th. Three events, 1st-- doing an exercise called 'Helen', it is 3 rounds of 400 meter run, 21 American swings w/26lb kettlebell and 12 rump up pull ups. 2nd-- ground to over head w/bar, get to your max weight by 7 minutes. 3rd-- 50yrds starting with Prowler run, Farmers walk w/35lbs and sprint. Best overall score for all three events wins. This is the one I am most nervous about because I will actually be competing against people who know what they are doing. I am practicing with my trainer twice a week, but I am still nervous. I guess the point is to have fun, but I am still aiming to win.
So there we are people, three events. I am thinking about doing the 'Run or Dye' 5k, and a few others...or maybe I will continue with cross fit events? Not sure, but I am definitly going to continue competing to keep myself motivated. |
