Day Before the Eve of Fastivus

This is my first blog of 2011. The name has been changed, but the mission is still the same. It is: 1) Fast for 40 days to discipline and strengthen the body and mind. 2) Train for a world 's record to test my limits. 3) Create a fundraiser that will help children in need and get people involved. This years event, called "Push Ups for Peace" will be Saturday, April 30, at 2:30 p. m. at St. Ambrose University. Starting Monday, March 21, I will be fasting for about 41 days. I wll be drinking water throughout the fast. On Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays I will have only protein drinks. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, only diluted juices. On Sundays only water. This period of time is my annual spring holiday I call Fastivus. Fastivus is a time of renewal of the mind, restoration of body and resolve of the spirit. I look forward to this great spring " holiday season" and hope you join me in this year's Fast in the Life Lane.
