On Performance

“We’ll never know our strength until it is tested; we can never increase that strength unless the tests become ever more stringent. Arrayed against all the potential pain, loss, and fatigue of the performance quest is but a single reward: the pride of accomplishment and the security of knowing that you have made something of yourself, that you have not squandered your time on earth.”
— Brett Steenbarger

Spring Cleaning

It’s been a long winter, but Spring is springing and I’ve been catching up on all the stuff I haven’t had time to take care over the winter. Checking items off the myriad “to-do” lists and getting it done.

Coming off a rest day after a week of training in the books for my first century (100 mile) bicycle ride June 5; eager for the two-hour training ride scheduled later today. (Training log and details will be on my fitness blog fitbob.com as soon as time permits.)

Last weekend I also de-winterized “Snarl” (below) and got a nice 30 minute cruise in before the latest cold front blew in. Looking forward to more ride-able weather later this week.

Snarl

Off to watch the markets and hopefully get some much-needed sleep.

More soon… be well!

Decision Making

“Any individual decisions can be badly thought through, and yet be successful, or exceedingly well thought through, but be unsuccessful, because the recognized possibility of failure in fact occurs.

But over time, more thoughtful decision-making will lead to better overall results, and more thoughtful decision-making can be encouraged by evaluating de decisions on how well they were made rather than the outcome.”
