So when I walked in to the gym Friday evening after being gone for only 4 days, I noticed a lot had changed. Most important was a section on the white board regarding goals. I quickly knew my first goal would be to do 10 unassisted pull-ups by Dec 4 (our next baseline, I'll explain more in a later post). I got to thinking and quickly thought about all the lifts I can't do at the prescribed weight yet and made another note as a long term goal (again, I'll go in to this on another post as well).
Then there was another section of the wall which said 7 Week Challenge (Nov 15-Dec 31). One side had 100 miles, the other had 50,000 meter row. Wait, WHAT?!?! After quickly doing the math we all realized we would have to run a little over 2 miles every day from Nov 15th until New Years Eve to achieve this. CRAP! As for the row, if you haven't rowed on the C2 machines then this won't mean much to you. However, rowing is hard! It took me 21 minutes to do 5000 meters and I was working my ass off!!
At dinner tonight I sat down with Matt and started playing around with the numbers to see what it would really take to meet these two targets. Its not going to be easy, it's going to take up a decent amount of extra time OUTSIDE the normal time spent at the gym and when combined with my other goals which I'll discuss later, it means its time to get serious!
Over the next week or so I'll go in to my game plan for hitting 100 miles run and 50,000 meters row by Dec 31st as well as dive in to some of the goals I know I have and some of the goals I am discovering I need to have.
Have a great weekend and Go Ducks!!
