A little bit about myself. I am currently 186lbs, 6'1" and 28 years old. I would guess that I am of average fitness but heavily tilted towards the aerobic/endurance side. I also have Celiac Disease, an auto-immune disorder that causes malnutrition, bowel and intestine issues and general fatigue. In High School I was more fit while running both Cross Country and Track, my PR for 5K was 19:43. I have not trained seriously for at least 7 years now. I guess the point I am trying to make is that I am not some genetic freak gifted with high muscle mass, strength or spectacular athletic ability. Nor have I spent my entire life training for top performance or conditioning. I feel this is important for two reasons; first it is a good reference for my starting point and second I plan on attempting some feats that might otherwise be deemed best left to the pro athletes or fitness gurus and would like to show this to be untrue.
My hopes for this blog is that it will keep me on target and dedicated to my training goals. And possibly provide some inspiration or provoke some thought in others who might be interested in achieving a level of fitness and performance higher than average.
I guess that is all for now. I plan on posting some more info in the next few days about my fitness and nutrition plans as well as some of my goals for the year.
