From fat to somewhat fit

08/05/2024

Last weekend I completed the “Max Vert” challenge by GCXC Racing Pittsburgh. 3 - 10K events for over 2K of elevation through them.

I got to run in places I have never been to and saw a bunch of amazing sights/views along the way.

This now puts just shy of 1,500 miles run this year.

So for those who are into obstacle racing and have been following the saga of tough mudder filing for bankruptcy some good news has finally come out of it. Fingers crossed that tough mudder restarts sales in the US.

As 2019 comes to an end I am reflecting back and thinking of all the amazing things I got to do this year.

I rode a bike for the first time in decades, I took a body scan test and measured into almost single digits for body fat, I got invited to fly out to LA and film a tv show to talk about my weight loss.

But the best thing was Steve Gary told me about this event called a warrior dash, I signed up and somehow coerced my wife and family into doing it with me. We all had an amazing time and started signing up for more events.

Then came a tough mudder, then a terrain race, a pumpkin run, and then a hot cider run. All through these my wife and family did these with me. Years ago if you had said that I would do 5K events with my friends and family, none of us would have believed you.

I can’t wait to see what 2020 brings and what stupidity I can get myself into!

It’s all fun and games until basically calls you out and says you better do this now!

I got my pictures from the and I took away a few things in these pictures. ⠀
⠀
1. I make really mean faces for some reason
2. Playing football taught me to tuck the ball, check out the tuck job with that pumpkin!⠀
3. Having friends and family who are willing to do stupid things with you are the best motivation. ⠀
⠀
Years ago the thought of getting up at 5am to go do a 5K in the cold and carry a pumpkin would have been laughable. Now I’m looking for reasons to get up and move! @ Triple B Farms

Probably the last mud run of the year. Had a great time with new friends and family. Before anyone asks...yes I wore a tutu during the run..

I did my first today and had a great time! I was nervous as each obstacle seemed more difficult than what I did before. Each person pictured worked together as a team to make sure we got through them all. I had people standing on my shoulders to help get them up obstacles. I saw people break down in tears because we all got through an obstacle together. There were hugs and cheering through the course. At the end of the day the comradery everyone showed was amazing. Everyone cheered each other on and made you push yourself beyond what you thought you were capable of! @ Cooper's Lake Campground
