and not because someone was telling me that I had to do it. What started out as "we need to keep fit" has become, "I want to keep fit. I want to be 'younger next year'." If I had to choose a success that is measurable - I would say riding the bike leg of an Olympic distance triathlon as part of a relay team.
3.) Benefits of having the family working out togehter? We all workout in the class at the same time and then come home for a recovery meal. We all get to bounce what we've done that day, or things we've done other days, off each other. And we get to gripe about what we're doing together. The challenges.... yeah, everyone in the family knows what you're supposed to do and heaven help you if you balk at getting it done (don't ask how I know).
4.) I'm not sure if it's any specific one of the other three that has kept me going. Celeste certainly gets a bunch of credit for getting me out there to start with. Jennifer is always looking out for the old man at the start of each run (but then runs away to the finish well ahead of me). And PJ and his 30 min 5K on his first ever attempt. I think we all push each other, help each other, certainly tease each other, but most importantly, encourage each other.
5.) Two weeks of biking in Holland! Plus, a 10K in the next year. Duathalon (run/bike) maybe...
