We get a lot of new people this time of year. Truth be told, a good many go away pretty quickly as the importance of a new years resolution takes a back seat to work and life in general.

In an effort to help new folk get past the first two and most difficult months, we are offering a challenge to help meet your goals and promote encouragement from those who decide to play. Please take a look at the group entitled "challenge" . The group picture is a young girls jumping hurdles while riding a cow. That photo has a story that tells of overcoming a challenge several ways. First, I can offer first hand testimony that cows are really stupid and teaching one to jump is amazingly difficult.

Secondly the story behind how this girl came to cow jumping is another challenge. She wanted to become an equestrian jumper but her mother forbad it declaring that horse jumping was too dangerous. This clever girl came up with her own alternative. Her mother was so busy laughing that she forgot about her no jumping rule. In the challenge group, please look under group pictures. You'll see the photo in an enlargable form. It made me laugh.

Fitness is a lifestyle. If you want a little help getting through the first few months at FT, the challenge may help.

In any event, welcome here and good luck.
