Well, the results of my workout challenge are in for the month of January. I did pretty good. First, I did meet the challenge at the Y. I biked 215 miles, ran for 182 miles, and swam 10 miles (weather got cold and pool is outdoors). Not bad!

I have been participating in the Lake Wales Family YMCA’s Winter fitness challenge and since I try to be an overachiever I selected the “ironman” challenge. This involves 200 miles of biking, 90 miles of running, and 10 miles of swimming in the month of January. As of today (1/10) I have biked 43 miles, run 68 miles, and swam 8.9 miles. Not bad if I say so myself. I think finishing the biking part is going to be a challenge. The running part will just take 2 more days and the swimming is 1 more day.

Facebook Post: Running Quote from movie
I have no idea what tear-jerker movie I watched on the hallmark channel but my favorite lines of the movie are worth repeating:
“They say in Africa every morning an antelope wakes up and knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed. They say that every morning when a lion wakes up it must run faster than the tastes antelope or it will starve. See, it doesn’t matter who you are but what matters is when you wake up you are running.”
Now I know where my track coach from years back got the line. I never knew.

Good morning all! It is 40 degrees in our yard this morning, of course it is supposed to start dropping over the course of the day. Pups are fed, walked and asleep. Greyhound data is entered with the exception of BH evening – missing data file. Everyone have a great day!
