I stopped training in 1992 -- life got in the way and I got lazy. This fall I weighed 219 up from the 165 in '92 when I was 32 years old. So I signed up for a local "Ultimate Body Challenge" course -- 10 weeks of kickboxing and band/strength training and have been re energised.

I droped 15 pounds and 3 percent body fat, and my very humble mile time of 10:02 in September has dropped to 7:50 on Saturday. Not awesome, but I'm proud enough of the progress to set my sights on a Sprint in June and an Olympic in August (concidentally, my 45th birthday).

Anyway, hey all, great site ... I like being able to state my goal publically and keep my focus.

Fritz

Welcome, Fritz!

I have only been using this site for a little over a week and it has been very motivating. I log all of my workouts and diet (because I too am trying to lose some weight) thinking all day long, "I need to get to the gym so I can put it on my training log" or "I cannot eat that last piece of cake in the kitchen at work because I do not want people on BT to see what I have eaten".

Good Luck with your training!

Tim

I got back into triathlons this year after an 18 year layoff. Good luck to you. It definitely feels good to be back.
