I was convinced last night to run a sprint triathlon, the Silicon Valley Mountain Bike Triathlon.

I had to think about it, but, in the end, I don’t think I would ever forgive myself if I didn’t at least try to do it… I may last only one section of it, maybe 2 (I’m thinking the swim and the bike are not so tough) but I will never know if I don’t try it, right?

As I’ve realized recently, it’s all in the attitude. It’s all in how you approach life, right?

I never thought I was going to be able to loose any significant weight and here I am, down 24 pounds from my September ‘08 weight and the next 20 look easier than eating a cookie 🙂

There’s got to be a will to do things in order for things to happen. If there’s anything I’ve learned over the past few months is that will is as important, if not more important, than action in getting things done.

Here’s a map of the event. If you’re interested is going to be held by Lake Almaden.

 

Will post more as the race gets closer.

 

And YEAH, I’m 24 pounds down from my September weight!!!!
