Week 4 - Ryan

I'm pleased to state that this week went a bit better than the last. When Monday rolled around I was ready to hit this challenge hard and make up for a few little hitches here and there. I managed to hit just about all of my goals each day, which is success in itself. As a result, I definitely noticed changes in my mood and emotional state. Imagine that upping fruits and veggies, reducing alcohol intake and regular exercise can lead to drastic improvements in the mental and emotional state. All it takes is a little bit of effort and mindfulness and anything is possible.
Just like my buddy Rafa, I was able to make some improvements as well. I picked up 5 more push-ups (for a total of 55), 4 more pull-ups (that makes 24!!!) and dropped 30 seconds from my run. All these improvements make me realize even more that the efforts are definitely worth it, and gets that fire burning even brighter.
And I must say that I'm proud of my Mud Run team, The Quick and the Dirty, for kicking some serious (muddy) bootie! 5th out of 100 ain't bad at all! I can't wait for the next race.
Here's to another great, successful week!!
