Superwife - Camo belt - D

My wife of 8 years and mother of our three kids. She started TKD after the birth of Odie, our third child.

Princess - Camo Belt - D

Our seven-year-old daughter. She was originally supposed to be a spectator to Cowboy, but jumped in and has proven to have an incredible talent for the martial arts.

Cowboy - Camo Belt - D

Our six-year-old son. He is small for his age, so starting him in TKD is what got us into this mess. He is very close to our Chief Instructor, and his spirit is twice as big as he is.

Odie

Our youngest son, born in April of 2006. By the time he is old enough to start, we should all be Black Belts.

The Dragon is Awakening

CHALLENGE STATUS

PUSHUP: -397
SITUPS: -397
MILES: -44.2


Finally. My UWBT (nicknamed "Spirit of the Dragon," since I needed a name for the tracking file) is closing in. I've knocked out over 2500 pushups and situps , and run over 27 miles this month so far. My pushups and situps are rapidly closing in on the break-even mark, something I haven't seen since roughly 3 weeks after the challenge began.

I'm losing weight, too. From an all-time high of 245 back in June (when I started TKD), I had gotten down to around 232 when I started the UWBT. I was down to 213 last night, and have had three people tell me that I look like I'm losing wieght in the last 24 hours. I don't see it myself--but it is encouraging.
