Hitting our 40's with a Vengeance- Let the Count Down Begin!

It’s a done deal.  We had a goal to do a super hard mud run the year we turn 40 and we officially signed up today.  September 17^th, 2016……….This will be the toughest mud run we have ever completed.  While it is not the toughest mud run out there (the Tough Mudder) we needed to be realistic about having time to train, and reality is we just don’t have the time to train for a 10K mud run.  So we still chose a HARD one, but it’s only a 5k and it will be doable.  Yes most of you think we are crazy insane for doing this.  And maybe we are.  But we aren’t getting any younger, we want nothing more than to be proactive in our health as we are getting older instead of reactive.  This helps us accomplish that by giving us something to work towards.  And at the end of the day we will accomplish the goal we set 3 years ago, and our hope is to be in the best shape we have been in in a long long time the year we turn 40.  And better yet we are doing it as a family.  The kids have decided they want to join in with us and support us in reaching our goal.  Anyone is welcome to join us.  What better 40^th birthday present to us than saying that we are healthy and accomplished our goal?  Let the countdown begin….304 days to go.  Bring it on…all of it.  We are going into our 40’s with a vengeance.
