Food for thought...

SO today's workouts went pretty well. The pool is more difficult than I remember. I didn't need to hydrate for the rest of my workout because I consumed so much water... Granted my Kidneys have hurt all day from processing chlorine. Workout hard on the technique. It is amazing what a workout actual swimming is, not that stuff I do at the lake with friends. My arms were dead after the swim. After swimming I decided to change it up a bit and did some lifting, high reps, lower weights. So I did 100 Iso-lap pull downs and 100 reg. pull downs and 150 crunches. Once I was done with that I jumped on the elliptical for some intervals. 1 minute on 30 seconds off... did that for just under 10 minutes then called it a day. Outcome.... My shoulders are feeling the "love". It should make for a good swim in the morning.

On a side note I have noticed a greater number of people at the gym. I applaud them for trying to achieve their goals. I truly hope that they continue with them beyond January 26Th. So many people try to start and give up, I have been one of them. The key is to not only hold yourself accountable but also have others hold you accountable. This is one of the reasons I have this blog. I have been called on a few things already... Like not blogging every day, thanks Rob. But bigger than that, It motivates others to try and achieve their goals. When I complete my Ironman, I truly hope it inspires at least one person to jump up off the couch and say "If he can do it so can I!"

Anyways, Just a thought I had this morning when I saw all the extra people at the gym! For everyone who has made a resolution, make it a lifestyle change and not just a temporary fad...!

P.S. Keep holding me accountable. It will push me to go the distance.
