***Thanks to the great people of Swingfest, the winner of the Swingdown will recieve a free set of passes to Swingfest 2008!!!*** 

Welcome to the 9th of thirty weekly updates that will be coming every Sunday until the completion of the Swingfest Swingdown 2008. The Swingfest Swingdown is a motivational contest and tool that Mrs. Gentlenibbles and I, along with some of our readers, are participating in to help us get in the best shape of our adult lives for Swingfest on July 31, 2008! View the current results of the Swingdown here!

I would like to take this opportunity to thank all the many well-wishers I have had over the last couple of weeks regarding the accident.  I really am pretty lucky and had no real damage to speak of.  The only thing still “healing” is my lower leg and ankle which took a pretty good hit in the crash.  Thus I have yet to start my running again, but I did manage to lift a couple times this week as well as a couple of ab workouts.

Unfortunatley, the net effect of the last couple of weeks is still 0 pounds, but I think once I start running again I should get back on track!

Mrs. Gentlenibbles rocked in her 5K last weekend taking 6 minutes off of her last time from a couple of months ago.  For any of you that have ran a 5k six minutes is a lot of imporvement in just a couple of months.  She also got back on track with her eating this week and got to the gym a couple of times.  I am doing today’s post from a hotel on the road and forgot to get Mrs. G’s weight report when I talked to her, so we will have the update on where she is at for next week!

We really want to thank Greg at Swingfest for the free passes he donated for the contest.  We truly hope that will inspire some of our readers who have been thinking about participating to sign up.  Right now we have no one registered, so whoever signs up would be a shoe in to win the free pass!
