Fitness

Fitness should not be extrinsically valued like we are socially taught with magazine covers.  Fitness should be intrinsically valued to love the training, the gift to experience how going fast or long makes you feel alive, the time you spend with friends training or the mood & energy boost post workout.  Daily fitness is essential behavior to perform in life and have a good day so that we have more energy to give to others.  Fall in love the process and results will follow.

Stay the course

Vineman 70.3

Taking on a major project at work coupled with a booked family summer schedule resulted in placing training on the back burner leading up to this race.  Given lack of training I sill managed to grind out a good race finishing in 5 hours 32 minutes for the 70.3

Time to look ahead with pressing determination to conquer.  The clear objective and stake in the ground remains, sub 5.  To achieve this objective I must press on with focus on efficiency where time is spent leading up to my next race, Santa Cruz 70.3

There are three specifications & sacrifices that must measure up for this performance:
- Race weight
- Consistent execution
- Stress vs Recovery balance

I can and I will.

Half way into 2016

Thoughts drive action and build habits to solidify new circumstances.  Your circumstances reveal you to yourself.    You are where you are so that you learn how to grow.  Take the reigns to improve your circumstances and create it for yourself.   Plant thoughts with positive seeds to focus on, remove weeds hindering growth and re-focus where time/money/attention is needed to align your goals to come to fruition.
