we are committed

Yes, we are committed to each other. But while the commitment to be with someone for the rest of your life may sound a bit daunting to some, our latest commitment may intimidate some people more…

We invested in The Lone Star Half Ironman. In other words, in 94 days, Caleb and I are swimming 1.2 miles, biking 56 miles, and running 13.1 miles. All in one day!

Last Friday, the last day of 2010, was the final day to sign up for the race before prices went up. We signed up. The reality has sunk in, and the training has begun!

I wanted to start blogging about it A) to have accountability. Caleb and I have a tendency to justify being lazy and eating instead of getting a grueling workout in. I figure as long as I know my mom and sisters are looking every once-in-a-while, I will feel the pressure. B) You can see how our life in Texas is going. C) If anyone needs encouragement to get out and do something you may not be comfortable doing, let me be that for you! I, by no means, naturally just want to go exhaust myself like this, but I am really excited about challenging myself. You can too!

Us biking on the greenway near our apartment in early December. This day we did a 30 mile ride and a 6 mile run.
