Compete in the Mens Health Urbanathalon. Notice I say compete and not participate. I don't want to be just another participant. I want to be competitive.

My day started at 7:00 am picking up several dozen donuts for a veteran's day breakfast. My Legion Post serves free breakfast to all veterans and their families every year for Veteran's Day. It is a simple breakfast, scrambled eggs, sausage,...
Thank you :P. Weather sounds similar to here. We've had days where highs were in the 40's, but it's supposed to be in the 60's for the weekend. It'll be nice, probably the last warm weather until spring so we'd better enjoy it.
Hey Mike, No Arnold this year. Can't bench for a while.Just started running without the sling.I have a long road back. About Matt 25, all is great but watch the date so you don't have to many 5k's at the same time and more advertising.
Yeah, I don't think it was ever a good idea. The support is great, but some of the comments and feedback made me feel uncomfortable. I'm doing really well now and don't want to do anything that may sabotage that.
It's still a bit sore but I've started walking with some slow pace running. About 1.5 miles for the run at 8:30 pace then walk 3 miles.It's tough to run in a sling. What have you been up to? This Sunday my wife and son are running the inland trail 5k. I thought about it but she said no. :( !!
Thanks so much for the good wishes! I don't know how the contest is going - you only find out at the end of a round if you made it in - round two ends Oct. 31st, although it might take a week to find out - round 3 starts Nov. 1st. Once you make it in a round, you will go on to the next level. Thanks so much for asking
