My thoughts as of late...
- Time to take health serious and lose weight.
- Plan on crushing a 5 minute mile, my real goal is 4:45.
- My first attempt will be when I hit 200lbs.
- I have a weird injury on my legs. Right above the calf muscle and immediately below the knee pit (... that is a medical term right?). It feels like someone took a ratchet and cranked it three times. Been hurting for a week. Had two ART appts w/ no improvement.
- Currently working out on it and picking up intensity. Dr. thinks I may need to push through this one to get it to loosen up.
- Which brings me to my next point... what the fuck. Every year I have a new injury that I have never dealt w/ before.
- Workouts... these will be completely different than in the past. Plan on using P90X as my core workout. All of my "endurance" work will be done w/ a warm up period, very high intensity work period, then a cool down. One day a week I will go long. My goal is to drastically increase my short burst muscles. My goal is to only do Oly's this year if I do any tri's at all. Oly's are balls to the wall for the whole thing. Anyone can race for 2 hrs going hard.... no need for crazy endurance work for that.
- I have been going hunting a bunch. I have tons of gear, blinds, decoys blah blah blah. Only got one thing so far. Each trip out has been a huge learning experience. Coming from no hunting background, this is all new unfamiliar territory for me. The few trips I have taken so far have been very interesting in one way or another... to the point that I am scared to hunt alone. That being said I plan on going out on my last hunting trip Saturday morning.... I reallllllly want a goose.
That's about it. Clean eating has commenced, steady workouts has commenced and already my mind is feeling sharper and more focused. No more downward spiraling, time to grab control and get some awesome gains this year.
Thanks for reading!

I love to hunt, I use to hunt all the time in Arizona, sadly I all I have left is my bow (which is my preferred way to hunt), my guns were stolen a long time ago, I havent gone hunting in Ohio yet
could be a calf tear. an ultrasound would confirm.
Get some long and slow stuff in there too! for a one mile TT, long would be 3 miles at a 9 m/m pace. But that will also help with the whole fat adaptation/bodyweight thing too. If you do everything at high intensity like that the chance for injury really increases.
Hey buddy - good job getting back in the game!
Have you jumped on the no wheat bandwagon with the reason of us?
I could be cast as an extra right now if Spielberg ever did a sequel to Schindler's List - all thanks to the elimination of wheat!
wait for it .....
Its a Comeback!!!!!
(cant beleive I got to do it first)
nice work let the rally commence
Hunting hasn't been great for my boys - one button buck is all our poor freezer got. And let's just say it probably had spots until shortly before it was shot (son got anxious). Talked to my surveyor and he'd taken 8 rabbits yesterday morning though. Said quail were pretty hard to come by last week though and season ends on the 15th so he wants to sneak off one more time. Hope your goose hunting is productive. They are everywhere here, but don't know many hunters that go after them.
Best of luck dealing with your injury and goals for the year. Looking forward to seeing how your speed responds to the "plan" (or is this a "no plan" plan again?).
I love how this is a yearly thing...putting the winter weight on and then losing it. I know that it's just motivation. That 5 minute mile is going down!!! Post us some pics of you hunting!!!!!!!
You enjoyed the "off" season though, right? :) I was telling Tom about your crushing the 5:00 mile. He's in awe.
DUDE!! You need to come to Maine and hunt!!! Maybe we can get you a moose permit. :)
I am so excited for you to crush 5! That is awesome.
Are you still there? Not sure if you saw Mandy's comment about getting a moose permit and took off full speed for Maine or not. haha
4:45 or bust!
