Progress

So it's been a week (+2 days but who is really counting) since embarking on the new diet as well as the 7 week challenge from the gym (only +1 day for the challenge).  I think what I'm most excited about is the amount of miles I've run!  I'm really proud of myself and Matt.  I've clocked in 20.25 miles so far, which is way more than I've ever run in a given week, even when I was pretending to train for the marathon!  I have 79.75 miles more to go and about 6 weeks to do it in, I'm not at all worried I won't be able to achieve that goal.  Matt is only 4 miles behind me, and given his work/training schedule it is amazing he found the time to run at all!  Below are a few pictures from Warrior Dash this year, hopefully we'll get to do this race next year as well.  We'll be ready for it with all this running!

I felt I needed to jump as high as possible to not get burned!

Effortless

The second thing I'm most proud of is that I can now do 6 pull-ups in a row!  I need to be able to do 10 on Dec 3 (if you remember it was originally the 4th but now we'll be doing the challenge on the 3rd).  I'm pretty confident I can do it, I just need to get over this cold so I can be strong and focused!

The third thing I'm most proud of is that I've lost 3.8 lbs!  What's odd is that this normally would have been the 1st thing I was most proud of...but now I have so many other goals the weight is just another goal vs. my primary goal, very refreshing!
