Lean and Mean

Headed to the track earlier in the weak for an easy run, drills and to break in a new pair of trainers. After a warm-up started out striding the straights and easy run on the curves. Then out of nowhere, he appears, the man, the myth, the legend: Fritz.

Who is motivating who? I come around him the second time and there he yells, "lean and mean, lean and mean" and we have ourselves another new motto: "feed the dynasty" and "lean and mean". Coming from a seventy-four years young man referring to himself as older than Benjamin Button, and re-starting his life at his age, he continues his run around the track, ask about the intervals and workouts, and offers a thanks for the motivation.

Now get off your ass and do something.

The Need for Speed

The new power tap is on order - watch out - going to rock out, coming to a triathlon near you. Who says you can't stimulate the economy (or just reward yourself because you don't have a retirement account anyway). Chose a good week not to blog, ice storm hits, fall behind in work, nicely coinciding with an increase in feeding the dynasty, and rediscovered why Goose Island Honkers Ale makes for a great recovery drink, yet disappears way to fast.

Check out the big wave surfer documentary Riding Giants - excellent for a motivational trainer workout. And/or Pumping Iron bodybuilding documentary about Arnold - lets just say Michael Phelps isn't the only famous athlete/celebrity hitting the bong.
