Happy Festivus

It's that time of year again; it's cold out, Xmas trees are up, houses are lit up, and my backpack is full of training gear. 7 weeks into Ironman training, and no sign of stopping. The holidays may provide a speedbump, and with the amount of food I am about to consume, I may just install a speedbump where my spare tire is currently sitting.

I finally got my TRX Suspension Trainer, and I am loving it. Another fitness fad? Perhaps. But the fact that many pro athletes are using this system to strengthen their cores makes me feel pretty confident that it will work for me. I already feel stronger and more fit than I did this time last year. Pretty soon I'll have the lil lady on this thing and she'll be whipping out circuits in no time!

This year's IronTeam is pretty impressive; we've got lots of accomplished athletes and fast folks. We also have our share of characters and hyper-motivated fundraisers. If you are looking for a last minute Xmas gift for someone, look no further. The "Girls That Give" 2011 Calendar is available now. Give it a click, donate a few bucks, and join the fight against cancer while you're at it.
