Get Fit or Cry Trying

The title of this post is so fitting for what I have experienced over the past two months.  I have been training, well sort of training, for a 5K obstacle course:  Rugged Maniac.  It's 3.1 miles of mud, water, fire, walls, hills, planks, wire, etc., etc.!!  I was very excited until last week when I looked at the calendar and realized that it was only two weeks away (now less than a week)...YIKES!!  So, needless to say, I have been cramming.  I just hope the results are as good as when I used to cram for exams in college.  The good thing about it is that I won't have to do this alone.  I'm on a team of "Wonder Women!"  Yes, we plan to dress the part, but I'm not so sure that the performance will be up to par.  As Wonder Women, we will give it our all!!  So bring on the mud, the fire, the walls, etc., etc.!!  But first, let me say a little prayer...

Guess Who's Bizack!!

To quote the International superstar rapper, Jay-Z, "Guess who's bizack?"  It's meee!! (in my Whitley Gilbert voice)  I have completely neglected my blog.  Smh...what an awful way to start!  When life requires you to put all of your attention into something, you have two choices:  1) you can figure out a way to do it all or 2) you drop something until you're able to give it equal attention.  Unfortunately for my blog, I chose option #2.  I was so focused on other things that I didn't really have time to write, however, the desire to document my experiences was forever prevalent.  Now, I'm choosing option #1.  That's what my blog is supposed to be about anyway, right?  Being strong and bold enough to do all the things that make me happy, while sharing my life in the process.  I have the ability to do everything that my heart desires and be successful at them all.  It will take a strong dose of metabolism and a lot of prayer, but I can handle it.  I'm sure.
