The Begining

As i sit here in my kitchen and think about where we are at now vs. where we were 6 months ago it is amazing.  The fact that this started with a simple text to my brother and now there are four of us riding the entire way and two more joining us in AZ and a ever growing group of people donating there time to helping us achieve our goals is truly humbling.

Now we are one month away from completing the first step of our training.  The team has done a great job of being dedicated to this phase.  We are going through the P90X series of workout videos.  This is not a workout for the faint of heart and I can tell you we are a very dedicated and motivated group.  As i start to turn my attention to what lies ahead for us to just prepare for this trip I am excited and nervous at the same time.  Excited because this will be a once in a lifetime event and a true chance for me to do something truly great.  So many accomplishments in my past have given me a sense of well i have done that now what.  I truly feel this will be something that I will finish and say wow look how far we came and look what we accomplished and be proud of it.  And the best part of it is my family and friends will be part of the entire experience.  I am nervous because there is so much that I do not have control over, but I know that I need to have faith in God and that this is part of his plan for us, trust in the fact that we will be well prepared and that we can accomplish anything if we pray and set our minds to it.

Ok now that i got that out of my system lets put in the miles to prepare and, have a good time doing it and make a diffrence.
