HI FISH!!!!!!

Hope you all had a good weekend. I had a bad one in terms of health, so it's right back to working extra hard today! Hope you all have a great Monday.

Isaiah 40: 29-31
29 He gives strength to the weary
and increases the power of the weak.

30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
and young men stumble and fall;

31 but those who hope in the LORD
will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
they will run and not grow weary,
they will walk and not be faint.

Me too my friend. Work is VERY over rated.

“Whether you think you can or can’t, either way you are right.”
- Henry Ford

Have a great weekend guys and gals. It's getting tougher and tougher to get workouts in with shorter days and colder weather. Keep on keeping, this is where we earn PR's.

Sorry to not post this weekend, I was swamped! We did a really awesome Jingle Bell 5K yesterday in the snow and cold. We did it with a big group, and I took my time and tried to help some of my friends "just finish" as they put it. I applaud them for their efforts, but found it a bit funny that at mile 2, they were talking as if they were at mile 24. It was pretty funny, but fun indeed. I like swiminto's quote today, so I'm just going to leave it as today's.

Hump day baby!!!! Broncos play tomorrow night, so this week is winding down wonderfully. Here is a great little diddy for today, I like this one. Think of mile 25 of the marathon, 98 of a century, meter 4,999, or just December 12:

Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength.

Keep it together folks, you're almost there!

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."

This is a great quote. I've taken the past 4 days off of training, and I'm jumping at the bit to get out there and try out my new running tights that my lovely wife got me for Christmas. There's a foot of fresh snow this morning, so I may take out the snow shoes. Oh, and it's 8 degrees, so I'm bundling up! Here's today's quote, have a great one guys and gals!



"Run slowly, run daily, drink moderately and don't eat like a pig."

I hope you guys and gals had a great weekend, and are looking forward to a few more days off! New Year's is a holiday I don't usually partake in outside of a good meal and if my beloved CU Buffs are in a big bowl game (HA!) - so today is the end of my holiday season. Back to work for a few hours manana. Anyway, I hope you can enjoy the last few days, get a few more good workouts in, and just enjoy some down time.
"Listen to your body. Do not be a blind and deaf tenant."

Dr. George Sheehan

Happy New Year!

Not really a great motivational quote, but it's a good one from a friend of mine describing his Ironman race strategy. Hope you are all having a great Jan 2!
