22 Jul 2011Old schoolKelley are I are going to the drive in tomorrow night to see Captain America and Transformers 3 - we'll have to get there early, but it should be a good time. We just got a new stove, and need a new printer, screen door, and various other house fixes - our house is falling apart! Not really, but it is frustrating to have it all come at once.
We are still on track to do our first half marathon on September 17th in Dayton, Ohio. We are excited! We are working our tails off to get ready.

- 27 Jun 2011Keep on rollingLast weekedn Kelley and I went went to Carowinds, an amusement park in South Carolina, where Rock the Park, a Christian concert, was taking place. We had a good, albeit tiring, time. It took several days for us to get back to normal, but we are back on track.
I lost 2 pounds this week to reach my all-time low of 179! We continue to hit the workouts hard in preparation for our first (and maybe only) half marathon in September. Also, I am heading home to TC this Sunday for 4 days for my first visit in 4 years. Exciting!

- 31 May 2011The beginning of a fun summerThis past weekend marked the beginning of a fun filled summer for us - the first in several years. We went to Atlanta for a Reds vs. Braves baseball game, and while there went to the World of Coca-Cola, Georgia Aquarium, and stayed at a Hilton that was pretty swanky.
We have several more events on tap: in 3 weeks we are going to Charlotte to an amusement park that is holding a big concert, then I am going to Traverse City for a few days, then we are going on a weekend retreat in the mountains, then to the USAF Marathon, and capping it off with a trip back to Atlanta for Six Flags, touring CNN, and the zoo. It is going to be an awesome few months!

14 May 2011GoalsDJ and I are so close to our weight goals. It is great that we have been able to share in this journey. I have such a wonderful husband. I am so proud of his accomplishments. I cannot thank him enough for his companionship and love. I love you DJ!
Challenge: DJ offered motivation to reach my goal. I must weight in 3 weeks in a row under my goal weight and I "win" an iPad. I am super motivated! Thanks DJ!

- 22 Apr 2011Road to excellent health step 1 completeI took my bi-annual fitness test yesterday and scored a 90.2, my highest ever. 90+ is in the excellent category. One year ago I scored a 76.5 - quite a huge difference! I finished the 1.5 mile run in 12 minutes - which was one of my ultimate fitness goals. I have also lost around 10 pounds, with only 10 more to meet that ultimate goal.
In non-fitness related news, I got a new phone yesterday, a Droid Thunderbolt, and it is pretty sweet. Kelley is working a ton, it is her busy season. She is kicking butt, though, because she is awesome.
Comment on/rate this... - 31 Mar 2011Yeah, we're nuts!In case you didn't know, Kelley and I get up between 4:15 and 4:45 every weekday morning and start working out by 5:15. On the weekends we get up later - maybe as late as 6:30, and we run 3-5 miles each day (weather allowing). We ran our first 10k a few weeks ago, and we'll run our second in 2 1/2 weeks. We are in the best shape that we have been in many years and it feels great! Life might be super busy and there never feels like there is enough time in the day, but working out is worth it and we enjoy it.

- 7 Mar 2011So Much Going On!Kelley went home for a visit for her birthday this weekend and went to the regular season Ohio State basketball finale and watched them crush Wisconsin. She had a great time, but I am very glad she will be in home in a couple hours.
I take my promotion test for Master Sergeant tomorrow morning - good luck to me! I also just bought a car a week ago - a 2011 Chevy Malibu - it is super nice.
Kelley are both doing great on fitness and health, and this Saturday we are both running in a local charitable 10k! It will be the farthest either of us have ever ran. Awesome times!

He is certainly ready to spend time with his wife. We are curious about what the rest of 2011 will turn out, but we plan on taking it one day at a time. We do not know the future, but we know the one who does and that is all we need to know.
