catscratch Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Hello, Rebels! My name is Adam and I'm a 28 year old gamer/rpg/anime/card games sort of nerd (and very proud of it!) Until very recently I spent most of my time sitting and watching the shiny picture box cast it's spell of Mesmerizing Pixels. Sometimes I'd lie around and read a book for hours on end.. and very very rarely, I would wander out in the timber. I LOVE climbing trees, walking across narrow things, and generally pretending I'm a ninja. Despite my love for such things, I lack almost ANY sort of motivation. Then, just a week or so ago, my best friend invited me to do something that I honestly can not wait for: Warrior Dash. Apparently, he and his wife did it last year and had an absolute blast. He showed me the website and we looked at the obstacles that possible awaited us while running this 5k. He got me all worked up about it and I decided that I NEEDED to do this. He also directed me to this website for motivation and planning and for that I am super grateful! I'd like to formally thank Nerd Fitness for getting me motivated to do something to better my life because it has been a LONG time since I've felt this. I have a tendency to get excited about something and then sort of just forget about it a week later. But with this, I feel different. I'm setting clear goals, reading inspiring and informative articles, and getting support from my friend. I started the Angry Birds workout as a first step on my path to Warrior Dash and I am going to kick it's ass! Who knows, maybe after I build a little muscle, I will actually be able to start working on one of my life goals: learning parkour.
