Awesome! I am starting school too and am nervous about keeping organized during this challenge. I loved Dark Knight -Bane is so smart and a real badass!! I'm rooting for ya! -Emponia

Hey Nenia! I completed the 5K and 10K over six months ago so now I have to get back into it. I'll be on Week 3 when this challenge starts, I love it and the iphone/android app makes it soo easy!

I'm trying to work on my speed in the C25K program too! I've always been the slowest runner and I really want to change that! -Emponia

Your paleo transition is really inspiring, I am also working on upper body push-ups and pull-ups! -Emponia

Love your daily quest idea, I am so bad at stretching- I never remember to do it and its sooo important! I am also trying cook a new primal meal every Sunday! Paleohacks.com is an epic resource! Good luck! -Emponia

Count me in too! Practicing push ups will help me build the muscles I need to complete pull-ups! -Emponia

Hello fellow Adventurers, I've taken Steve's advice and have created my own super hero persona whose personality I take on whenever I am working out, eating or doing something I'm scared of. I think "Would Emponia be scared?" Hell no! "Would Emponia stop running or push a little harder?" PUSH! This has really helped me in my weight loss goals. So ignore the third person chaos and embrace your inner superhero with me! My superhero/dobbleganger is Emponia: Badass Grok Warrior Princess, please, no applause is necessary. Really, stop, please, you're too kind. I'm trying to tell you her story! *cough* Thank you... *cough* (take on deep voice with peaking intonation) Emponia: Badass Grok Warrior Princess hails from the kingdom of ADAVEN in a dark but magical world. Her super powers went unrealized until she fled from her city and was forced to find new ambitions, passions, friends and ultimately herself. However, she was forced back to her home by a wild villain called DERIPXE ASIV. Upon her return she was confronted with numerous demons, warlocks and sly shadows that challenged her newly found hopes and dreams. Her quest is to fight these monsters and return to DERIPXE ASIV lair for the epic battle.

You must always have a plan of attack before going into battle. 1. Continue C25K Running program, increase speed every run. 2. Write down what I eat each day in order to be more aware of Paleo success. 3. DO IT! 4. Practice drawing weekly, pick focus and complete! Can you tell I am really into Steve's whole quest thing? I love it! We're all nerds here, right? Can't wait to start my first challenge and kick REBS ass!
