It finally rained! Thank you Lord! Our front and back yards have gotten so dry I didn't think our grass would survive; but after the great rain, I think we have some hope.:)
I love days like this because I'm able to sit down and have time to research things that I'm interested in. Subject of the day: Tough Mudder! Matt, Joe, John and I have signed up, along with 7 other crazies to run the Tough Mudder this October in Paige, TX. TM is not your average lame mud run or spirit-crushing endurance road race, it's Ironman meets Burning Man. It's a 7-12 mile race of obstacle courses designed by British Special Forces to test all around strength, stamina, mental grit, and camaraderie. TM has also raised over one million dollars for the Wounded Warrior Project, an awesome group that helps severely injured service men and women.
Everyone knows that I don't have just one sweet tooth, I'm pretty sure all of the teeth in my head are sweet; soooo I have a very difficult time saying no to ice cream, chocolate and any other wonderfully yummy indulgence. Although this is a large obstacle for eating healthy, Matt has been such a help for getting me into shape. We both have a membership at Anytime Fitness close to home, so we've tried to keep a constant schedule in lifting weights, running and working towards our goal. It's a good feeling to have a partner who pushes and encourages you throughout a workout. I definitely wouldn't get very much accomplished if he weren't there :) I tend to talk myself out of things...like working out! We also have a pool and tennis court in our neighborhood, so the four of us have been heading over there everyday to get some good cross training in.
