Start Me Up!

Multivitamin is IN! Sweet  GNC MegaMen Sport is awesome!!

and yes, I’m getting my lazy butt out of bed to enjoy a good breakfast of eggs and fruit.  Life is good

In honor of MLK day we had a 10K run here on the base.  I participated.  Good run, but my shoes are D-O-N-E.  I felt every rock and piece of gravel.  They can survive a couple more training runs since my knees and lower back are fine, but once they start hurtin it’ll be time to change out shoes.  I’m buying a new pair today! 

I also got some great news.  I’ll be able to leave for the US early to start my follow-on schooling. Just a few more months and this trip to Iraq will be over! 

1)  Get my multi-vitamin in the mail soon!

2)  Quit sleeping in and missing breakfast!!! Breakfast sets my metabolism up for anabolic success and I’m sabotaging myself by missing it!

On a positive note: The Pittsburgh Steelers won there game this weekend and I had an excellent Shoulders/Chest and Tri’s lift last night

I’ll "ghost compete".  Not officially enter, but set the goal for myself anyway.  I’ve heard of some runners doing this in certain races; starting just after the start line and going off the course right before finish so they don’t have to pay racing fees and what not.  Not a practice I condone on the racing realm.  However……

Competing officially in an online contest would be great, except for this nugget here:

By submitting an entry, you grant to the Sponsor and its agents the right in perpetuity to reproduce, publish, and use your Pictures, Essay, name, biographical information, and opinions in any way, in any and all media, without limitation and without further compensation. By submitting an entry, you warrant that you have the ability to grant the aforementioned rights to the Sponsor and its agents.

With what I want to do, I can’t have that happening.  I can’t sign over complete control of that information forever (perpetuity).  I may never compete in any contest until I leave the military because of it but if that’s the case, so be it.  Ghost competitions until I find a new line of work. 

At first I wasn’t going to compete at all but I remember that I can still compete with myself, if not for the $50,000.  Besides, why use an excuse to keep you from achieving something you want?  The money isn’t that important.  My lifelong health and fitness IS that important.

Who will judge/criteque me??  You guys of course!!!

1) Church!

2) Legs and Shoulders workout!

3) Abs class!
