[BFritz]

Hey BFritz hows the training going? I hope well, keep us posted.....

Actually, still going strong, and someone told me to be careful not to work too hard because I'll get tired of it, but there's no chance of that ever happening................. I'll never give up going hard........... it's just who I am.

PROGRESS REPORT
I found out that it's not 3k or 5k- it's 5k or 10k (besides the big marathon).

The friend who takes me to workout has been working Dixie's basketball camp this week, so he hasn't been able to take me to lift weights, but I'm still riding the bike every night or day (I lift weights on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and then ride the bike each day regardless).

In contrast to above concerns about overworking, I've only pushed myself harder as the days go on. When I started, I was just riding the bike on normal resistance for about 15 minutes, but, after a few days, I started riding for 30 minutes, which I still normally do that (a lot of times for more, but I never do less than 30, and one day I rode for 61). However, I've upped the resistance 3 levels, and still riding to the point of heart attack (joking, *I hope*), and I'm still riding at a solid pace (usually about 10-12 mph). I'm going to continue doing that, and, I'm not sure when, but I'm going to go up to Thomas More or CovCath on days that I don't lift and just see how long I can walk around the track (with a walker, of course, and I heard that 4 laps is a mile, but if anyone can verify that or give the right number, I'd appreciate it). I'm planning on just starting with a mile (I believe I can make it if it's only 4 laps), and then just increasing it as time goes on.

10k is over 6 miles, and I decided that I'm making the 10k, and it's not even a question of "if" because I'm going to do it.

I am getting stronger and building endurance, and I look like I was in a wet t-shirt contest when I get done riding the bike because of how much I sweat (I'd win, it's HOT :worthy: :lmao: ).


I'm going to try to find sponsors to donate money, whether it be families or companies (as little as $10 to $50, but as much as a hundred or a thousand, I'm not really sure how much people will offer, but I have already had offers to donate, just not an amount). Then, I'm going to post every donor on my website so they are all recognized. After that, I'm going to donate it all to charity (unless I get an insane amount, like $30,000+, which I hope, and then I might take a portion of it to do something else, but I'm not talking a lot, I just mean to do something like take a trip or enter a poker tournament, but most of it would still go to charity).

So, if you work for a company or think that your family might be interested, please be thinking about giving a donation (still about 9 or 10 months before they need to do it).

Thanks for the well-wishes and the support, and I'll try to post updates (but please remind me periodically if I haven't in a while).
