Tough_For_Cancer Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Hi EveryoneSo, after a few years of reading the blog I have taken the plunge and signed up for the Nerd Fitness forums!I wouldn't normally put myself "out there" like this but after plateauing with my goals for the past six months I really wanted to sign up for the next challenge and am hoping the greater accountability will help me hit my targets!I lost about 36 lbs last year, motivated by losing my mom to cancer. Just after my mom died I signed up for my first Tough Mudder and gave myself about six months to get ready for it!I spent last summer doing a mix of running (eventually up to 20 miles a week) plus strength training (I did P90X on my non-running days).After Tough Mudder I think I burned out a bit and injured my Sacroiliac Joint. I didn't do any exercise for six months but I recently finished treatment and have started training again, following a walk/running program and training for my next Tough Mudder in July!I'll be signing up for the next Challenge on the 9th and hopefully being part of this community will be a big help in meeting my goals! 2 Quote Level 2 AssassinTough Mudder LegionaireDad DancerSTR 0 | DEX 0 | STA 2 | CON 2 | WIS 4 | CHA 2 Life is full of misery, loneliness and suffering and it's all over much too soon - Woody AllenMy Challenges: Current Challenge, 1st ChallengeMy Battle Log Link to comment
Chris-Tien Jinn Posted May 30, 2014 Report Share Posted May 30, 2014 Welcome and thanks for joining the Rebellion!! My condolences on your mother. We lost my younger brother to pancreatic cancer in September. I've been finding geocaches in his honor (it's a hobby we both shared), and I think your races are a great tribute!! Did you find the Level 1 area? That's where we start off new Rebels and help them set good goals to be successful with their challenges. So good luck; let me know if you have any questions! 2 Quote Level 63 Human ...
