Last year I created an event to get motivated in order to get in better shape.
"Time to see if your Fat, Old , Lazy Ass can still finish the Stud Iron Man we used to do as kids in Jr Lifeguards.....Running and Swimming the length of the Beach in the LB.....(We will skip the pier --don't want anyone to drown or get caught by a Fisherman)....But we can attempt the rest of it.......Meet at the beach and bring it....".
The photos are from a practice run I did before hand to mark out which bouys we would swim around in the challenge.
I ended up being the only fool to do the whole thing.....Many said they may come and didn't.
The event was a total succes for me....12 bouys and 4 miles on the beach and I felt incredible at the end. The water was damn cold if I ever do it again it will be mid Summer not the end of Summer....But it was a great measuring stick for my being in better shape. Much improvement would still come after that as I would eventually break through more barriers ....But this was a great example of how setting a goal --whether it is a 5K or something more ambitious can help you in reaching your excercise goals...
Here was a shout out to those that helped out.
