I hope you can count me on board this train. I weigh 246.2 lbs as of today and I need to get down to around 175. I cannot lose weight either just by having that as a goal. I want to get back to the athlete I was so I will be training towards running sprint triathlons. That is a 5K run, 12-13 mile bike ride and a 750 meter swim. I ran/walked 4 miles yesterday with my wife(today the legs are sore in spite of stretching. She has been kicking my trash on the health mantra the past six months. She is looking fine which spurs me even more since I don't like being flabby when she is fine. In any case FM count me on the FM fitness channel.
Crazy or not I plan on participating in the Cache Valley Tri (sprint) in Logan on June 21. That gives me almost four months to get at least healthy enough to finish it. The bike ride doesn't phase me as I used to be a road racer in my younger days. The swim doesn't phase me either. The run however is my Achilles heel (pun intended). I have to be able to run/jog a 5K. I used to run allot when I was younger, but I had problems with my knees in the military. This occurred after running the 2 mile in 12 minutes flat. My knees were never the same after that. I would love to participate in Bronco's ECO challenge. I have a friend who is planning on doing it this year. I think next year would be a great goal when I am in shape. He supposedly has an obstacle course that is suppose to weed out the triathletes and other distance racers because it is power based. Like strong man contests.
