New Year, New Goals, New Site!
Greetings,
I want to wish to all of you a very Happy New Year in 2010! I'm sure most of you have set some goals & resolutions already. Here are my goals:
1. Compete in the Thief River Falls Sprint Triathlon in May. My last Tri there was in 2005, so I want to make a return up there for this race. Since I used to live in "TRF" and coach there, this race is sort of a mini-homecoming for me, since TRF really felt like a place to call home.
2. Break 19 minutes in a 5K race this year. My main 5K I'm aiming to do this in is my local Finley 5K race, which I got 19:33 in, without really training specifically for that time. I feel I got a sub 19 in me.
3. Get the 5 Minute Mile at the Prairire Rose State Games in July. I feel with the intense training for the triathlon this winter/spring, I will have quite the base to bulid upon as I hone my speed efforts in April, May, & June on the track for this race. I'll also compete in the 400m and 800m races, too.
4. Break 250 in the bench press. Just last night in my workout, I did a rep maximum test at 200, and got 4 reps. A 1-rep max calculator I did online said my estimate is now 224. I feel I can get this number in due time with patience & practice. As a part of this goal too, I want to break double my bodyweight in the deadlift. I'm 185 on a good day, so 370 would be lofty to achieve.
5. I want to help out MORE & MORE people through my sites. As a part of this plan, I am making a BIG change to how I do things.
For 2010, I am going to be focusing on 3 main sites:
1. This blog, http://1MileNation.com. Looking back in 2009 when I launched it at the start of the year, I was amazed at how many people read it & visited it. I know I target just a small amount of people who like to run fast & furious, and try to convert others to do so. 2010 just may be THE year that more & more people see the benefits of shorter & faster running efforts.
2. My http://ASAPWorkouts.com site is now going to reflect my entry back into the realm of fitness & sports performance training as a part-time hobby business for me. I want this to be the local portal for people in/around Finley, ND for my training service information.
3. My NEW site, which I'm making public today through this blog, is going to go along the lines of what ASAPWorkouts.com started as: an information site for athletes & parents & coaches, but its going to be more than that...
I created http://MakeVarsity.com as a new site that integrates all of my past articles, and my past e-books & guides, into a Free Membership site for people to join! All young athletes are on the journey to "Make Varsity" at some point, and once they get there, they need to know the roles & efforts it takes to stay there and perform your best! As an athlete, coach & trainer, I've been on "all sides of the bench" when it comes to sports. I have seen what roles are needed to play for team success to happen.
http://MakeVarsity.com will have the following for its free members:
1. Free membership, of course!
2. A Photo's section for all to add & view
3. A Video's section for all to add & view
4. A Discussion Forum for athletes, parents, & coaches
5. An Articles & Guides section, showcasing all my past articles & now, all of my past e-books, including Endure!, KettleBolics, The Rocket Speed Training on a Budget guides, and more! Yes, all those items are now for FREE when you join!
6. My New "Coaching & Consulting Services" will be offered in special packages for parents & athletes. I'm also offering specialized "Workshop by Phone!' and "ASAP Coaching Calls" as part of this, too.
So, I invite you to Register today with http://MakeVarsity.com and start adding your thoughts & commentary for the community! If anything, once you join, you can download all my training guides for free (with the exception of "7 Weeks to 7 Minutes", that one I am keeping up for sale only).
Also, let me know of your thoughts on the site, and if you feel it can be improved in any way. Like anything, it will take a while to get the kinks out as it gets going.
I hope 2010 brings you 12 months of joy & happiness on your own journeys & goals!
Run Strong, Run Fast...
Run So As To Win!
