Bringing Sexy Back 2012

This year I’m turning 40.  I know, I know, I don’t look a day over 50. 

Anyway, I’m surprised how reflective this has made me.  I think age is just a number but in a way, it’s also a way to keep score.  Have I done what I set out to do?  Have I done the important stuff?  Have I focused my time and energy on the things that really matter?  

Maybe age isn’t the scoreboard, but it is the timer and if I live a normal life, I’m about halfway through the dance, maybe more.  With this coming up, a few years ago I set myself a few goals to reach before I turned 40.

  1.  Finish my Master’s Degree: If all goes according to plan, I’ll graduate 9 days after my 40th Birthday.
  2. Visit all 50 States: As of today, I still lack 3 – North Dakota, West Virginia and Alaska.  I don’t think I’ll accomplish this one by 40 but you never know, I still have 4 months.
  3. Finish a Triathlon Sprint. 

This brings me to the reason for this post.  About six or seven years ago, I saw an ad in Men’s Health for the Nautica Challenge in Southern California.  It’s a mini triathlon or a sprint.  It starts with a ½ mile ocean swim, then an 18 mile bike ride and finishes with a 4 mile run.  This is one of the goals I set for myself before I turned 40. 

What was I thinking?

Anyway, I’ve decided to lower my sights a bit and sign up for the Greeley Triathlon in June.  It’s also a sprint, but I won’t have to travel to do this one.  It’s a 500 yard swim, 10 mile bike ride and 5k run.

So I have a goal, and I’m training. 

I’ve been working out at Phoenix Training Studios in downtown Greeley.  A friend owns this gym, the classes are small and the workouts are tough.  

I think this is just the incentive I need to Bring Sexy Back in 2012.  Sexy has been gone for a LONG time but if I reach my goal, I’ll no doubt lose a few pounds and BRING SEXY BACK! 

I’d like to invite you to join me.  My friend at Phoenix has given me a bunch of free one week passes to the gym.  If you’d like to try it out for a week, just call them and ask for Kris.  Tell him Angel sent you and you’ll get your free week.
