A Greener Just Another Drill: Not Far Enough

Not Far Enough

80,000 meters and the clock is ticking...I'm beginning to get a little worried. So worried that I dragged my erg out of the attic and brought it to work with me today. 12000 today will help.

I'll get it all done. I always do. But I wonder if my holiday season would be less stressful without this crazy erg challenge. Fatter but less stressed.

Focus is the way to get through the long winter. Find a focal point, fitness, flexability, balance...and plan your training around that. If you have an idea and would like some help figuring out how to modify for your focus I can probably help. Just let me know.

How far is everyone else?

ed smith said...: Focus; you want focus: how about Feb 3 St. Louis focus your way over 2000m on that "contraption of the devil" and show those StL @#$*%#@s that we can kick their b**** on the water and then kick them off! I know it's a bit abrasive but I have erg issues; I did clean it up 'cause you know the little ones they repeat things.; 10:56 AM

Words To Live By

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.
Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure.
It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.
We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'
Actually, who are you not to be?
You are a child of God.
Your playing small does not serve the world.
There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.
We are all meant to shine, as children do.
We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.
It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.
As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
Marianne Williamson
