New Developments

This week I took a couple of steps towards doing the Tough Mudder, a 10-12 mile obstacle course (www.toughmudder.com for more information). I procured a weight bench and 300 pounds of iron to pump.  I've decided to do more strength training to strengthen my core, especially since I have ceased swimming due to scheduling issues. 

The second step was to sign up for a warm-up race: the Warrior Dash. 

2012 is the first year for the Nebraska edition of the race.  A number of co-workers are also doing the race as well.  It should be a lot of fun and a good gauge as to how much harder I will have to work over the summer to be able to survive the Tough Mudder or Spartan Race.

The Warrior Dash is also a fundraiser for St. Jude Research Hospital.  You can donate to them to help me reach my goal of $250.  Use this link to donate!  www.mystjudeevent.org/lot4
