| One step at a time |
| It is often difficult to imagine yourself reaching a great achievement. You look at someone who has built a massive fortune, or created a magnificent work of art, or achieved a prominent leadership role, and you have trouble identifying with that person. When you look at any great achievement, usually you can see only the end result. That's because the splendor of such an achievement overshadows all the little details that went into creating it. Yet the real substance of achievement is in the day-to-day details. The person who builds a highly successful business does it mostly by doing the kinds of things with which you're already quite familiar -- talking on the phone, writing letters, paying the bills, buying new toner for the copy machine. The greatness in the achievement comes not from any supernatural skill or special advantage, but from persistence and commitment. Great achievements are built day by day, step by step, by people just like you. Greatness comes from ordinary actions, focused on a specific objective, followed with steadfastness and resolve. Almost anything is possible when you are committed to pursuing it one step at a time. |

Easy spin to 24. Wanted to do two episodes but the chili for supper was doing a dance on my digestive tract.
| Nourish your dreams |
Before a tree can grow tall, it must first send its roots down into the ground to gather nourishment. In the same way, if your dreams are to be achieved, you must first find a way to nourish and sustain them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
Who would have ever heard of Theodore Roosevelt outside of his immediate community if he had only half committed himself to what he had undertaken, if he had brought only a part of himself to his task? The great secret of his career has been that he has flung his whole life, not a part of it, with all the determination and energy and power he could muster, into everything he has undertaken. No dillydallying, no faint-hearted efforts, no lukewarm purpose for him!

OK the winter blast of the week is over, the driveway is clean (or as clean as it will get), I've had a good nights sleep and I'm sipping on a cup of REALLY good coffee. Life is starting to look better.
Today I will run up to REI and use my rebate to buy a Timex Ironman Heartrate monitor. I'll now have average heartrate per workout and a 30 lap counter.
I want to do a double trainer ride today, get my office workout area clean up, and load some software on the lap top so I can be a little more productive.

Some day, in years to come, you will be wrestling with the great temptation, or trembling under the great sorrow of your life. But the real struggle is here, now, in these quiet weeks. Now it is being decided whether, in the day of your supreme sorrow or temptation, you shall miserably fail or gloriously conquer. Character cannot be made except by a steady, long continued process.

OK folks! I am ready to sleep in (past 5 am) and sit around tomorrow morning drinking a whole pot of Sumatra blend coffee! And then I might even go back to bed for a while. This storm has kicked my butt pretty good!
I hope to get a trainer ride intonight before I hit the hay!

Easy spin watching an episode of 24. I might do this for a week or so and see how my back is doing. I still think it was from lifting at work but ...

Whole swim felt doggy. Pool was alittle warm but still. My back felt a little tweaky on the rotation so i cut the yardage down.
Shallow men believe in luck, believe in circumstances -- it was somebody's name, or he happened to be there at the time, or it was so then, and another day would have been otherwise. Strong men believe in cause and effect.

Back is doing much better today plus I slept very well last night. I was so tired last night that as I read I fell asleep, the book slipped out of my hands and fell on poor Duchess laying next to the bed. I didn't think a dog could give you "The Look" (I thought that was reserved for wives:)) but I sure got it!
We have another major snowstorm coming in. My boss is gone so i have the shop on my own. Could be a long couple of days.

Processing your request, please wait...
I had a very wierd dream about doing an IM last night. I was in the lead (you can stop laughing now) until T2 I had the carry my bike in pieces into the transition. I finished 5th in the race. The funny part is I woke up drenched in sweat! How do you log that one in the logs!
Today I'll swim at lunch and maybe do a short run after work (outside). It's a 24 night!
