    Tyson's Corner? We lived in Chevy Chase for 5 years... the township. Not the actor.

    The Tevis Cup, August 4th. It's a 100 mile endurance ride. I want to get stronger, and fitter so that I can make it easier on my horse. We did it in 2010, and just recently (2 weeks ago) completed another 100 mile ride. I have about 7 to 8 pounds to go and have been losing about a pound a week for the last three months.

    I'm training to enter a bodybuilding competition in a couple years. Allowing myself plenty of time to build the muscle I want. I don't want to do the figure ones. I want more muscle than that so it'll be a long process but thats my goal in the end.
  • Run 5K again by the end of the year .... thats it, simple.

    Maybe one of these days will go back to Martial Arts myself but with a change in perspective from "do" to "jutsu".

    Cheers.

    But seriously, I want muscles just because I'm tired of looking like a waif.

    Me too. I'm tired of being tiny and frail. If only I were a pompous, meathead *kitten*. Oh wait...

    I am losing weight to look good, but also set a training goal by signing up for the Disney Wine & Dine Half Marathon in November. It's a night run (starting time 10 pm) through two theme parks (Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios), finishing just outside of Epcot's World Showcase with a special Food and Wine Festival after hours party.

    Me either. I look ridiculous in a bikini.

    Love lol

    I dunno if it's been answered, but the Mud Run is a 3 mile obstacle course that's super muddy. I've heard it's really hard. I personally started out just wanting to look better, but now I'm going to do the Mud Run in August!

    Is the mud really necessary? Can't they use... pudding? I'd totally do a Pudding Run.

    Lmao.

    This entire thread made my night.

    I just trademarked "Pudding Run." It's mine damn it.

    My night has also been made! Wouldn't pudding be really sticky??

    I'm training for a half marathon in October, I'd love to do the full (I've done half marathons before but never a full) but can't figure out how to get the training in while working full time with a three year old and a one year old...
