When I Started:
Mar, 2007
How I Started:
Tried out for football my senior year of high school after growing up a tennis brat doing only pushups/situps - carried on in college with early morning workouts where I met my better half - dropped off with career/kids but the roller coaster stops at 40!!
Why I Love It:
Feel like I accomplish more before 7am than most people do before noon; great way to blow off steam in the late afternoon/early evenings.

Achieving goals and resetting them; setting a good example for my pre-teen boys; feeling like nobody is out-working me; keeping the passion in my marriage and my self confidence up
BB Accomplishments:
Dropped 15% of bodyweight in 9 mos, dunked a basketball for the first time in my life at age 41

thanks you too! if you haven't already check out "amino vital". excellent supplement for amino acids, come in little gel pacs, easy to carry while you train for your tri.
Thanks been gone on my honeymoon, just got back to the gym today...gained about 4-5 lbs. Felt very strong today, but a bit winded. I will get back into it fast!
