Welcome to my new fitness blog. This will be a spot for me to record happenings in my continuing adventures in fitness.

I've had a love/hate relationship with fitness - I enjoy the way I feel when my fitness level is up, but I don't always feel motivated to keep myself in that shape. It's had a negative affect on my career (I'm military), and I've decided that enough is enough. I recently got myself within the standards that my branch of the military has set, but I'm not going to stop there. My goal is to be able to pass their test any day they come to me and tell me that it's time.

To keep myself motivated, I'm going to register for a 5K / 10K at least once per quarter - this will help me make sure that I always have a goal no more than 3 months away. I'll be doing my first one before my birthday, which is September 14th.
