So why do we train? Is it fun? No, not really. Not when you really get down to brass tacks. Training, while doing it, is anything but fun; it's very hard work.
Why then, do we do it?
I think it is because we are not satisfied with mediocrity. I believe each of us, who finally makes the decision to get off our butts and do something about it, is sick and tired of being bored, mundane, average and living a life we NEVER thought would happen to us...in some way or another.
I can think of nothing worse than living out the rest of my life watching TV, getting weaker and weaker and less and less able to do anything I dreamed of...or anything at all.
Today I will be asking each of you again, what are your goals? Why are you here? What do you hope to accomplish?
You may "just want to feel better" or "get more fit" or lose weight. Or, you may decide that now you really believe you can run your first marathon, or do a triathlon or maybe learn to row.
Whatever it is, I sincerely believe Team Survival can help get you there.
I am so close to being able to unveil the CrossFit side of things to each of you. It is the next step in your training progression, no matter WHAT you wish to accomplish.
Hang tight and Stay tuned...

Hey Shannon ........ Thanx 4 the 'Publicity'on my First 5K....... lol.... Not NEEDED,But MUCH Appreciated. Also, Here's the Race Results Website :https://www.runraceresults.com/Secure/RaceResults.cfm?ID=RCOY2009
ReplyDeleteI Would Enjoy some 'Company' on my NEXT 5K Adventure, so I Thought it might be a 'Good Idea' if I Posted the Website that You Directed Me To:www.active.com , in the HOPE That My Fellow 'Campers' Might Be Inspired To 'Dip-Their-Toes' in the Events? This Website is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING !! ....... Once You Register and Sign-Up for an Event, They Will Keep You in the Know about EVERY EVENT or COMPETITION That You Can Imagine.... PLUS,as they did with the 'Original 5K' that I was to Run September 5th,in Aliso Viejo, they will send you Event Updates to Give-U-the-Latest on any Event that You Register for !! ( That's How I Learned that the Aliso Viejo 5K Run had been 'Postponed', Due To Poor Air-Quality from the Recent Forest Fires ...... OTHERWISE, I Would Have Driven ALL-THE-WAY-DOWN-THERE ......
Only To Discover that it had been 'Postponed on that Saturday !!........ A 75 Mile Drive, One-Way, Aint-No-Joke ....lol )
Oh ....... BTW: Retractions & Corrections Department - Turns Out I Was ACTUALLY 16th OVERALL ( Oopss!! )........ But My RECORDED Time was ACTUALLY 22:04 ( Ooopss AGAIN!!)........ My BAD, lol !!
