My first is the Tough Mudder in VT on May 8th, 2011. The next is the Super Spartan Race in VT. on August 6th, 2011. My next challenge is the Walt Disney Marathon on January 8th, 2012 where I hope to qualify for the 2013 Boston Marathon with a 7:00 min per mile pace. Next is the LA Marathon in March 2012. All of this leading up to running the 2013 Boston Marathon. I am going to keep track of my training progress on this blog. I hope you will all following me on my fitness Journey.

2011/2012 fitness goals

       In life it is always important to set goals. whether it is fitness goals or just in life it is important for your success. I personally have many goals that I want to reach in life. I am going to share with you all my fitness goals that I hope to reach within the next 2 years starting with this year.


2011 

INSANITY ASYLUM
when INSANITY ASYLUM comes out I hope to complete this workout and get into the best shape of my life

Tough Mudder (May 8th 2011 MT. Snow VT.)
 On May 8th 2011, I will be competing in my first Tough Mudder event in VT. it is called the hardest endurance competition in the world. I can not wait to dig deep and bring it at this event and be able to say I finished the Tough Mudder.

Super Spartan Race (August 6th 2011 MT. Killington VT.)
 This summer I will be running my first Super Spartan race in VT. This race will be similar to Tough Mudder but will include different challenges. This is just another obstacle I will overcome this year.
 

P90X MC2
later this year P90X MC2 will be coming out and again will be another challenge that I want to tackle and succeed in.


2012

Walt Disney World Marathon (Jan. 8th 2012) Qualifier for Boston Marathon in 2013
 In January I will travel to Orlando Florida to run the 2012 Walt Disney World Marathon. I will be running this to qualify for the 2013 Boston Marathon. This will be a fun race because the entire run is through the Disney world theme parks.



LA Marathon (March 2012)
I want to be able to run in a marathon due to the fact that I will not be able to run the Boston Marathon till 2013 I will be running the 2012 LA Marathon in March 2012. This is one thing that I have always wanted to do and is one of the biggest challenges that I will face.

Tough Mudder 2012 (Vermont and California)
 Once again I will compete in the Tough Mudder competition. I am hoping to make this a yearly thing that I do. Along with the Vermont Tough Muddder I am hoping to also compete in the one in California.

Super Spartan Race
 Again I will also run the Super Spartan again in Vermont hoping to make it a yearly thing like Tough Mudder. I will also love to be able to travel to Southern California and run in that Super Spartan Race there.


2013

Boston Marathon
 In April 2013 I will run the Boston Marathon. This is something that I have always wanted to do since I ran track back in High School. I see this as the ultimate challenge and can not wait to run it. This will be the biggest fitness accomplishment when I run and finish this race. 

For me these are my Fitness goals that i set forth for my self. I am currently in training for all of these events. I will take them one event at a time. I am using P90X, INSANITY, (ASYLUM when it comes out) Kettlebell training, running, and (P90X MC2 when it comes out) to train for all of these evvents. I will be using all of these becasuer I want to be in the best physical shape all around when it comes time to compete in these events and not just in one specific area. This will give me the advantage when it comes time for comatition.
 I will be constanly updating everyone with blog post about my training and hope you all will follow me on my personaly fitness journey!
