The Road as Goal



Couple of quick links before heading back to the club for another HIT spin session. The first is from a cool site called Today is THAT Day, and speaks of the seven ways to self destruct on your goals. It is a very good list, and I have flirted with every one of the seven at one time or another, with one goal or another. We talked about this in class this morning. My take (again):

It (insert your goal here) is a process.
It will not happen overnight.
So you might as well enjoy the ride.
Making, the road the goal.

Sabe?

The second link is about our new (albeit retro) bike commuting culture. Even hot-shot, white collar, RWG CEOs are doing it. Nice work fellas!

Lot's of details falling nicely into place on the Mexico cruise. I, for one, can't wait to get down to that sunny southern weather and log some miles outside. Shipped off two bikes and a brand new CT for the cruise this morning. I still have one half price fare available so if the sounds of waves on a warm beach, parrots in the jungle, liberal splashings of sunscreen and the pop of cold cervesa is appealing to you, e me at once. The sound of saving $500 on the adventure of a lifetime, might sound good too.

All for today, off to spin. It could get loud tonight. That is the goal anyway.

Photo from yesterday's finish at the Seattle Marathon. Every one of those people, shown with 50 meters left on the half, achieved a goal. How many will measure, manage and make the necessary corrections to improve come the last Thursday of November 2011?

I, for one. You?
