Adios 2008

Did a sixty minute spinning workout on the ol stationary bike last night. Pretty cool actually. We got this dvd called ride the rockies. Turns out it's the boulder peak triathlon course and you're in a pack of about six pro cyclist/triathletes that live in the area. Nice to see the flatirons again, even if it is on a littel tv screen.
Got up this morning and drug my sled with 35lbs to the highway and back. That's definately going to become a regular routine. Got he blood flowing nicely. Deadlifts tonight. Strongman workout in the morning.
If I make it through tomorrow with no booze I will have gone seven days sober. Easily the longest I've gone without a drink in the last ten years.
I believe that God is listening to your prayers on my behalf and I cannot thank you enough for them.

Oh, it's ON!

I've got two months to prepare for a penultimate finish. I'll be happy with that for this year. If I can stay on the road I'm on, I'll win this thing next year.

frick'n freezing

As I'm trudging down the boring road of existence, it occurred to me that I haven't been blogging like a good little blogger because I have nothing in my life interesting enough to actually write down. The irony is that I have so little going on in my life/job at this moment that I actually have the time to write about having nothing to write about. I've been averaging about one or two workouts a week. this is not making me skinnier or stronger. I've been eating and drinking pretty much everything I can get my paws on. This is also not leaning me out. Blah. Just writing is making me feel like a short fat average 30 year old headed for a mid-life crisis garnished with a cardiovascular stint♥.

On a brighter note, I've proven that my family can survive in a 62 degree environment. Hopefully the next 300 gallons of propane will last more than 1 month.

Merry Christmas!

Back to life, back tooo Reality.

C-
Welcome back to reality. I'm glad you survived the rig. Going forward, any job that you may have you'll always know that it can actually get worse. Really shitty jobs have done wonders for my career. And don't forget that you are now elligible to file for unemployment!

Ouch

Everything on me hurts. That was a fun weekend, but I'm glad to say that today marks the beginning of 30 days of detox. Its time to clean out the ol system. I've got to drop a couple hundred pounds and regrow some lungs. I know I've been talking the smack for a while now, but I think this round I may actaully have the motivation for it. Cheers.

Happy Friday.

OK. I'm posting because I feel a need to. I've not actually got anything newsworthy to post here, but I feel guilty because my life is so boring I haven't really had anything of any interest to post in quite a while. Work is boring. The gym routine is steady and I'm still making gradual gains, but still nothing earth shattering that I feel I need to put down in pixels. Next weekend is the "Bachelor Party of the Century". Actually, as it turns out, I'm not really the guy to go to for planing fanfare. I'm just not that creative when it comes to boogieing down. The best I could do was, admittedly, based on selfish intent. We're going to load up in a motor home and drive to hellandgonefromallwomen. We're going to drink four hundred beers and see how gracefully we can negotiate single track at mach 1. At some point we'll end up at the local pub and drink all of their beer too. I know. I know. This doesn't really compare to the hallucinogens, midget strippers, and freaky clowns that seem to always highlight the really epic bachelor party stories, but like I said, I'm being selfish.

yesternoon

Got 405 off the three board press. It's getting closer to my chest every week. I'm still gunning for a full single of 405 by Jan 1, but that doesn't seem nearly as far away as it should.
On another sad note, it looks like I wont be able to make the midget wrestling / freakshow tomorrow night at the coliseum. Apparently, Meg thinks a cookout with her family is more important than this historical event in our community. They actually have a "micro" midget stripping pole dancer as well as a midget marolyn manson impersonator. Can't believe I've got to give this all up for family time. Oh well. Hopefully they'll be back next season to make our world a little less cheerful.
