Chicago Vegan on a Mission

[seraphsong]

Hello, fellow nerds.

I'm going to be 30 this year. THIRTY. This scares the pants off of me. I'm facing my mortality, and realizing that I'm not at all where I wanted to be at this point in my life. I can't be where I wanted to be though, because that's not where I'm supposed to be. If i was supposed to be there, I would be.

I'm 5'10", 285 lbs., and determined to not lose weight but get fit. I'm not concerned with the number of my weight for now, just getting to a point of athletic performance that I am proud of. I've always quite enjoyed running, and last year I discovered the joy of racing. I did a 5k, and two obstacle course races. This year, I'm pushing the envelope. My goal for the year is to run no fewer than 10 events/races. I'm already registered for four, and have two more on the books to work towards. Here's the short list of goals for the year:

1 - Lose 30 lbs of fat by July 16.

2- Run in no fewer than 10 events/races during 2012. So far I'm signed up for the Chicago Polar Dash 10k, Warrior Dash Illinois, the Super Spartan in Illinois, and the Wisconsin Tough Mudder.

3- Paint my entire Retribution of Scyrah collection for the Warmachine Miniatures Game by June 1.

So, yeah. That's a little about me. I am looking forward to being a part of this community, and I hope that I am able to find some new friends and support.
