2012 Goals

Some non-triathlon goals
Nov 6
I’ve been getting motivation to do some stuff outside of my recent norm. I’ve decided that I need to get my back-tuck back. Standing or running, either will do. I’ve also decided that Jillian and I need to get our toss hands awesome back. And that’s not all. Before my birthday, I want to be able to incline-bench my body weight again. I’m not too far off, but I’m not in the gym at all. It’s out here just for a little extra “peer pressure” in the right direction.
Peer pressure
Nov 6
I’ve been having some problems with my feet, mostly my right foot. Today Jillian suggested that I’m training injured due to peer pressure from my “triathlon buddies.” Aaron K. cut his run short for his injury, but mine didn’t bother me until my last lap.
The real peer pressure, if any, isn’t coming from my triathlon buddies, its coming from Steve M. Yesterday he set at PR on his 5k and updated his training plan. His consistency and discipline is incredible. I definitely feel like I have to step up my game for the marathon in March.
This morning I wanted to run the the loop faster than I did last week. I gained a lot of confidence today. Knowing that I can run that loop consistently feels great.
This week I fell off the plan in order to get some extra swim time in. I think it was worth it. If I ever need to drop a couple pounds, all I have to do is get in an extra swim workout.
- 200 pound flagpole block disposal, outlet rewiring, filling holes with silicone, hiding wiring, fixing insulation gaps in attic all done. #
- Hello lawn, we meet again. #
- Trails + attic + basement + garage + yard + dogs : I haven't been this dirty in a long long time. #
- I'm having a hard time determining what constitutes "hill work" on a run. 200 ft in a mile? 300 ft in two? 500 feet in four? Thoughts? #
- This just in: @babyeac knows how to "fist pump" already http://t.co/ChyHjRIt #
- Really wish I had a camera for this sunrise. Let us all have a great day! #
- I had a craving to do a tumbling pass. I told @jillianranee about it. She said "don't do it" and laughed. I didn't do it. #imstillcravingit #
- The decision of when to put @babyeac down is very difficult this morning. #
- Sometimes motivation comes from exactly where you would expect it. #
- I had a blast at the team building event! Formally introduced to several familiar faces. #fitness #bowling #
- Recruiter calls have easily tripled this week. #sorry #ilovemyjob #imnotleaving #
- http://t.co/OdG5KFRr — I hate to brag, so I'll let somebody else do it. #
- Lets do this. #
- It's family fun day! #
- I'm in need of some new speakers for the garage. If you have some collecting dust, I'll be glad to take them off your hands. #
- Did I just feel an earthquake in Lees Summit? #
- I did. Many others across the country felt the same one. I'm not crazy. It's the second earthquake I've felt here in KC. #
