I’ve completed weeks two and three of my training program. I’ve lost about 15 lbs. and become a regular at kettlebell training class. I feel like I’m making good progress but starting to question my ability to really do this race. I never like to do things “just to complete”, instead I do them to be as good as I can be at what ever I’m doing. My social life is completely orthogonal to my training program, which is making it more difficult than usual. I already have four birthdays and two football games to attend to this weekend. Of course, I’m not complaining, some folks don’t have two friends to rub together, but it does make planning meals, runs and cross training difficult.
Eating well, skipping booze, and exercising like crazy makes me feel good. My only regret is that it’s taken me this long to realize it. I hope it’s not too late.
