In one of my earlier posts informing my followers of the new activity with "Timmy" I also stated I was going to rededicate myself to staying more active/working out. I renewed my membership to our local recreation center in late February and can share since March 1st through today I've only missed 2 days of working out. The first was when I took a red-eye flight back from Hawaii and although I arrived before noon that Friday, Kristine and I had our taxes done that day and by the time I got home I was exhausted. I would miss another Friday workout to spend some time with my beautiful bride. Needless to say I am getting stronger again which is what I wanted to happen so if I do have surgery I believe being in shape will aid in my recovery. Along the way of getting back in shape not only am I losing weight I'm also joining a Marine brother (Brian W.) on the Face of America Ride which begins at the Pentagon on Saturday the 27th ending in Gettysburg on Sunday equating to 120 miles in 2 days. I've been riding but the longest I've gone of recent is 25 miles so this weekend should be interesting.
The the following week we have the Race for Hope and with the help from family, friends, and strangers alike "The Gunny's Team" is going to reach it's goal of 10K this year. To all that have donated thank you very much for your support.
I've also purchased new t'shirts this year and if you wish to get one please make a donation of $20 dollars to "The Gunny's Team" and let me know and I'll get it to you. This year's shirts are navy blue with white print screening and I can honestly say I think this is the best looking shirt we've had to date.
There are many of you which wear past years shirts and post pics on Facebook and I can't express how touched I am by your continuous moral support.
I'll post pics from this weekends ride and will give you an update.

Gunny! That was so fun and random running into you at the Marine Corps Marathon You looked like you were doing great - I am so glad you saw me, because I had no idea who was asking me to high five, until all of a sudden I realized it was you and I chased after you. I just read this blog post, and see that you totally reached your goal of getting back into shape! Take care, and I'm going to wear my Gunny's team t-shirt tomorrow in honor and admiration of you!
