I am Day Two -- Swimming with Alex

Day Two of my wonderful training consisted of swimming at the DAC with the wonderful Ms. Alex.

I know that right now swimming is my weakest thing. Actually, anybody that knows me well enough knows that I don't like water. At all. Maybe to drink. But being in water is completely different. There's just waaay too much to think about. You have to move your arms, kick your legs, and then breath. Why do I have to think about breathing!? I'm sure it'll become second nature though.

I also realized that everyone I know use to be a swimmer, being on the swim team and stuff. Where was I when everyone else was swimming?

And now, biking tomorrow.

I am Day One -- Running with Jeff

Yeah, I'm eventually going to do this Triathlon. And yeah, I'm going to have to train a lot. A LOT A LOT.

So day one consisted of running with Jeffery. I'm sure you're on the edge of your seating wondering, "I wonder how he did?!", or maybe you're just imagining me running and then collapsing on my face. That's actually a close approximation of what really happened. It has definitely been a while since I've done any physical activity other than biking. I need to start running more.

Next on the agenda is swimming.

I am a Bad Omen

You know the day won't be a good day when the first thing you put on are your socks.

Something is definitely on your mind if skip the rest of your clothes and go straight to your socks when you're getting dressed.

I am Uncomfortable

Everyone likes to be comfortable. Change is a scary thing so people usually just revert back to their old ways even if they try to change. After reading this article though, I thought about it.

If you're comfortable all your life, you really aren't doing anything with your life.

An excerpt from that article:

Yep, being addicted to comfort can be somewhat problematic, if not catastrophic, for the wanna-be, modern-day success story. The truth is, if you’re not experiencing and dealing with pain, discomfort and fear on at least a semi-regular basis, you’re probably not learning, growing, changing, adapting and exploring your potential as you should be. If you’re all about personal growth, maximising your ability and positive change, then avoid the tough (uncomfortable, inconvenient, painful) stuff at your peril.

I am a Real Man

I believe that there are two essentials skills that every man should posses. The ability to work with machines and the ability to undress a woman.

This guy can do both. With a pretty badass machine.




I wonder how this ability came about...

"Well boys, we're ahead of schedule and we have nothing to do."
"Hey you! Pretty woman! Let me undress with these gigantic digging claws of DEATH!"
