Fitness Challenge: Day 30 take 2
I couldn't go to bed 1.5 miles from the finish line, so off to the gym we went to finish it! Of course, I went a little extra for good measure. :)

I hope this Holiday season has you all doing well and with family.
As many of you know, Bobby and I just celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. A lot has changed in the past 5 years and we find ourselves treasuring this time of year, as it’s a break from the constant travel and distance.
Bobby is still living in Dallas and working on his PhD in Physics at the University of Texas at Dallas. He has had a lot of success in his studies over the past year and maintains his 4.0 in his PhD coursework. Additionally, he passed his qualifying exam with distinction and will begin working with the space sciences group this next year. Every weekend during the semester is a travel vacation for him or myself.
As for me, I’ve been having fun working with the ROV installations group at Oceaneering in Houston since the spring of this year.

Fitness Challenge: Day 14
This is proving far more challenging than I initially thought. Between trying to spend extra time with my husband while he's home for the holidays and trying to finish all my projects at work before I take off for the holidays, my progress has been rather lackluster.
I am getting somewhere though. Here's my progress today:
Running/Walking: 1.5 mi / 6 mi / 26.2 mi Biking: 10 mi / 55 mi / 112 mi Swimming: 0 / 3000 / 4200 yds

After falling off the bandwagon for a few days after my husband returned home from school I managed to push it a little further today to get back on track. With my husband's loving push, I met my fitness goals for the day!
Running/Walking: 2 mi / 4.5 mi / 26.2 mi Biking: 10 mi / 45 mi / 112 mi Swimming: 1000 / 3000 / 4200 yds

I was hoping to get in a walk/run this evening, but the swim was enough to knock me out -- that and work! :)

Fitness Challenge: Day 1
I've been looking for something to help me focus on doing something about my fatty fatness and I saw this fitness challenge online and thought I'd give it a try.
The Ironman Triathlon Fitness Challenge for December has begun! All skill levels (and distances) welcome. You do not have to aspire to be an Ironman to join this challenge. You may join at any time and adjust your goals to fit how much of the month is left. (We'll be back next month, too.)
The rules are simple:
Between December 1-31, you must complete:
2.4m of swimming (4200 yds) 112m of biking (any bike indoors or out will do) 26.2m of running/walking/elliptical
Add up your distances and post them to the daily thread using the following format:
Earned Today (or most recently) / Earned to Date / Goal for Month
If you do a little bit at a time it is totally manageable.
Will you reach the finish line by the end of the month? Good luck
I started today so here's where I stand:
Running/Walking: 0.5mi / 0.5mi / 26.2 mi Biking: 10 mi / 10 mi / 112 mi Swimming: 0 / 0 / 4200 yds
