Many of you know I have become an avid mountain biker. I ride 2 to 3 times per week and absolutely love it. I am the perfect example of how a heavy cardio work out needs to be mixed with a good diet to lose weight. Because with all the riding I do, I am still pushing a little over 245. My good friend, John Todaro, has convinced me to join him in the MUDDY BUDDY EVENT this year in Los Angeles. I have some information and a link below if you have any interest. Basically it is a race, both on bike and running. You and your partner take off together, but one runs and the other rides. The rider hits a check point and drops the bike and starts running. The runner gets to the check point and picks up the bike and rides. There are 6 check points and then we drudge thru the mud and to the finish line. Oh boy I can't wait... So, I have decided to mix diet with exercise and am looking for some help to get motivated. I am turning this into a fund raiser. Read my blog on August 13th about Ben Comen because I want to raise money for Ben's foundation, "Ben Comen, Living Without Limits Fund" ... So, I am looking for sponsors. Here is my proposal. Donate a sum for every pound I loose between now and the race, plus I must finish the race. I am looking for donations from $3 to $10 per pound. This is pretty safe for you all. I have been trying to lose weight my whole life and I just keep getting bigger. Plus I have been running or riding 4 to 5 days per week for the last 6 weeks. So, I am pretty close to my top cardio fitness. It is all about the diet from here on out!
Come on now, will it be $5 or $10 per pound? Just give me a call or shoot me an email. But do it soon, or you might be getting a call!
