How I did it
It made me
mystified 
How I did it: run your ass boy...whenever you can. eat properly. nothing can stop you from this but yourself, if you want it bad enough you can get it. i had been running for quite a while, even while on vacation, i tried my best to keep up with my runs. no excuses. Read how I did it…
It made me
aware 
How I did it: Definitely do your research. Figure out where you want to go. Find out where it is safe. Get your finances in order. Get your shots. Then go have fun:)! Read how I did it…
It made me
psyched 
How I did it: Purchased a ticket. Got a camera and someone to record me. Pumped myself up. Didnt look down while I was waiting, and kept my mind occupied, and took the plunge. Read how I did it…

2009 has been a great year for me. That does not mean that I have been really happy throughout the whole year, it doesnt mean that I have been absolutely sucessful in all my endeavours. In fact a lot of this year compared to previous years I have felt lonely, felt incomplete, that is because I realized a new need of mine, that is for a romantic partner, a best friend….I have realized that a lot of my current friends are not really that close or similar to me…which was a painstaking process. But I have grown, I have taken risks that I thought I would have never taken, I have done things I thought I would never be able to do…and at the same time I have not lost my self. Deep down I am still that person I am proud of, and I forget that sometimes. Yes, I have failed many times, but have gotten back up. And you know what lets make 2010 even better…
This new years countdown on 43 things has given me the idea.. of
making the next 41 days as awesome as possible,
and hopefully that will contine onto a daily routine…i usually like to have specific goals…but for this i am going to just day if i do something everyday that :
-makes me proud
-is outside of my comfort zone
- just contributes some way to bettering me
i will be happy.
and hopefully will get a running start into 2010. I will make an entry everyday.
Today : Ran for the first time in weeks. under 40 min, 2 laps, 4.4 miles. Not bad :). Gonna dance now, IN MY BASEMENT lol
Let's see...where we are

Last sept, lifted a bit, made slow progress through semester. Winter semester was write off, thinking about Shannen, just somewhat mildly depressed, was concentrating. Beginning of summer had some progress, then Africa of course. Came back and been at it a bit.
Flat Bench – 155 X 6 reps 90 degrees
BUT warmup was 135 X 15 reps – which is really good
Decline Bench – 175 X 4 reps
One Rep Max – 180 flat bench
So of course flat bench is harder than decline, which I have been doing mostly, and now since I have made progress has been decent. Goal should be 185 X 6 for end of 2009 then only 40 to increase in 4 months.
