Alright, so I have been going harder and going to set up a strong workout routine based around maintaining my run getting more miles in the bike, and swimming 6 days a week. So far it is working out. I get discouraged like many people when I do not meet the times for the workout. It is not always about making the times. Sometimes its about reaching inside yourself and finishing the workout, or coming back with only one bad time. No matter what happens you do not want to end the day with regret. That is the most important thing. So some words of wisdom is "If you try your hardest, you will never fail". This is true in all aspects of life. Think about that. You might get last place or have a super crap workout, however if you learn and gave your best, there is not much more you can ask, so you do not fail. You may not meet a goal, or even come close, but once again as long as you give it hell, it is fine.
Yesterday I coached one of my sprinters as they did hill repeats. They had one slow one. I knew he was bummed. This student however is not scared to fail. He will try anything. At the first track meet he fell on the first hurdle, then got right back up and finished the race. People laughed, but he did not care. I can learn a lot from that. Anyway I told him he controls his destiny. His mental determination can control what the outcome of the rest of splits. Sure enough that was the last split he had over 34, with a goal of 33. How awesome. I hope he realizes how well he did.
I need to control my destiny now. The last 5 days have been crazy!! We had a game night where my hombre Robert Baca (who I ran against in high school) and Chris Viskup(triathlete friend) came over and we had a game night. Apples to Apples night to be exact. The next day Abbie, Robert and I helped Chris move to Fort Collins. He did not have a lot of stuff so it was way easy. So then we went on a boat ride in the Horse tooth reservoir in a motor boat. It was cold, and there was still snow on the hills around the water. Then we went out and watched Clash of the Titans, which was mediocre(dvd rental), not really worth going to the theater. Then Sunday I ran Biked and Swam. It was crazy Ran into a really funny sign that said "Nazi Zombies Ahead!".
Yesterday I ran into something really funny, the most testosterone in a movie EVER check it out, so many super stars!!
