Well campers... I did it... it's official... I signed up for the Red Man Iron Man in Oklahoma City, OK.  What a great challenge I have ahead of me... jeeze what was I thinking?  Just Kidding, I actually will embrace this challenge for many reasons, one, to set a foundation for my son.  Although he is not quite one yet, but he is sponge right now and is soaking up everything we (my wife and I) do.  By preparing for this race, nutrition is vital... it's king!  Training habits must be stepped up and followed to the letter.  Not that I am trying to push anything on my son, but I feel it's my responsibility to be his role model.  Two, for you the camper.  Just like I mentioned last time with my 1/2 IronMan, what better way to show you that I practice what I preach.  "Plain and Simple."  Plus, I want to expose you to the sport of triathlon.  It's a great way to stay in shape. 
Three, definetely to prove to myself that it can be done, plus (sound familiar) it's a great way to stay in shape!  My goal is to drop down to 185-190ish for this race.  I am not about to carry around 220+ lbs for 12 hours or longer in September for this race.  No way, buddy! 

Let's switch gears... how about you?  What are you gonna do about your own health and fitness?  We all know it's that time of year that can cause a tremendous amount of stress... the traffic alone could put anyone of us over the edge, plus other outside factors such as company lunches and parties with food that is well... not what you should be eating.  It's ok to eat that stuff a few times, but day after day through the new year!  So, don't add additional stress to yourself by putting your health and fitness on the back burner.  Exercise is what your body needs the most, plus it well help reduce any holiday anxiety.  Simple things:  walk the dog, take the kids to the park, join a different exercise class, i.e., spinning, hip hop aerobics, yoga, pilates, etc.  GO FOR IT!

We are offering the last week of camp for $49.00.  You can choose any three days you want to help curb those cravings.  let us know.
