Shoveled, hauled wood, then took to running in my work boots. 10 hills, less then 1 minute in between. Last summer 1 would have wrecked me, my asthma was so bad I would have been sucking wind in this cold. Not today...I am a changed man...<br /><br />Enjoy YOUR journey today!<br /><br />http://i54.Rick & The Family!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09889103947680623666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-34162945599644827392011-01-29T05:34:20.938-08:002011-01-29T05:34:20.938-08:00Thanks Mark.

It really motivates me to see you are in the 300kg squat, 200kg bench, and 300kg deadlift range, which are all time goals of mine. <br /><br />This motivates me more than seeing some 18yo kid who has a 2000lbs total. <br /><br />Great articles Paul!mark from hollandhttp://google.nlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-5266452915584554802011-01-28T16:47:11.913-08:002011-01-28T16:47:11.913-08:00"once you reach the top there is nothing ther..."once you reach the top there is nothing there"<br /><br />Awesome quote Rick, and pretty much sums up my point. <br /><br />Once you REACH your destination....what is there? <br /><br />Enjoy the journey more than the destination. <br /><br />Great post as always Rick.Paul Carterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15352715396075897963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5141022388560653061.post-27979897964341734982011-01-28T16:37:47.735-08:002011-01-28T16:37:47.735-08:00Paul-

Pretty neat, and the scenery is amazing.<br /><br />The old head in it is 70, and he basically invented ice climbing. Designed all the tools for it, etc. At one point he says something like, "It's like the quest for the Holy Grail. The Holy Grail itself...it's bullshit.

It's a fun story to share now at about 70lbs. heavier. However, that laughable weight was the part of the catalyst that has shaped who I've become today. Better to be a late bloomer than a no bloomer.
