Let Try This Again!

Been really slacking on working out and making countless excuses for why I can't possibly spare an hour or so a day to exercise. My motivation to start working out again all started when I signed up and did the Metro Dash last month in Denver. This thing kicked my butt! I felt like crap the entire way through it and vowed I would never set foot on another obstacle course ever again.











I didn't want to believe that I had let myself get beat by a stinking physical challenge, so I started running again and even registered for the upcoming Warrior Dash.

A couple months ago I also started working out with kettle bells. I get together a couple times a week with a few friends to do KB swings, which, I must say, is a total body workout.



To top it all off I have decided to run my first 1/2 marathon this coming October at the Denver Rock n' Roll Marathon. A friend of mine ran it last year and has convinced me that if i stick with the 10 week training program, I too can do it. I'm into week 2 of the training schedule and so far so good. I have joined a couple local running clubs to encourage my butt to get out there and run. Jack Quinn every Tuesday and Rock Bottom every Wednesday.





I will use this blog to keep me honest with my training and reduce any chances that I may slack off again. I know it hasn't worked that well in the past, but here's hoping!
