So far in my two classes I’ve got a 98 in one and a 89 in the other. The semester is only about half way through, but I’m thinking I can keep up the work and maintain the grades. Very exciting!

How I did it
It made me
flexable 
How I did it: I've been training for a triathlon, and stretching has been a necessary part of it, because believe me you feel it when you don't! On days that I was resting, I'd still try to make time for it. Read how I did it…
It made me
In shape
How I did it: I'm staying motivated and drive to improve my running. 30 minutes, at least every 3rd day. I set running goals and have been slowly achieving them; giving me a sense of accomplishment. Recently, I had a goal to run 3 miles in 30 minutes. I reached that goal, now I want to run 5 miles in 30 minutes. I'm keeping with it, staying focused and that's all that matters. Read how I did it…
It made me
Awesome! 
How I did it: I got a crazy idea in my head to compete in a triathlon, looked up when the closest one was that I had time to prepare for, trained until race day, and then gave it my best! My time was 1:15:00!750yd swim, 15 mile bike, and 5k run. Read how I did it…

Future Wine Goal
1 month ago
My wife and I have just brewed our first batch of wine. It has turned out a bit drier then I’d hoped, but it has fostered in me a desire to learn more and improve my later brewings to more accommodate my tastes.
In the course of my research, I’ve come upon an ultimate goal, involving complex and advanced homebrewing skills to one day achieve. I want to brew a sweet sparkling wine. I’m really excited about it as it will take a lot of practice and work to get it right, but ought to be a genuinely rewarding experience.

The house is looking good, but it can look better! We’ve got about two months before our baby’s due date, and we can do it.
