Tough Mudder

Where has the time gone?!  It has been such a busy year. 
-Stephen ran his first half marathon with me in May. 
-We had a super busy summer, and fall. 
-Seth's football team was undefeated and won the super bowl yesterday.  Talk about exciting! 
-Stephen and I signed up today, to do the Tough Mudder in April.  Woo-Hoo!!!! Let the training begin.  I am so excited. 
-I only have a week and a half to finish my Christmas shopping. Yikes! 
But I am still running, and am now also weight training 3 times a week.  My husband got certified in physical fitness this fall, for his job.  He took my body fat percentage, and I was shocked!  I run a lot, but it was 21.? %! Yikes!  So I started eating more (mostly by adding protein shakes into my diet, after my weight training workouts), and I just had him re-do my percentage.  It's been about 12 weeks since he did it the first time.  I was shocked again....it was now 19.1%!!!! Wowsers!!!!! Talk about being thrilled! 
So my goal now is to continue my running, and keep increase my strength gains, so that hopefully I can complete this Tough Mudder.... it's very scary.  :-o
