He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harass our People, and eat out their substance.

Anybody who says that the economy is as bad as the great depression has no grasp of history. The truth is that its going to be as bad as the Carter administration but no worse. The media continues to push the depression line only because the worse the economy, or general perception thereof, the better for their presidential candidate. With any significant market dislocation, opportunity is created. The last few weeks I have been more active in the market than since I left New York. Dislocations like this only happen once a decade and while I will keep tight stops on many additional investments, I am in it for the long haul and you know how that story goes.

Evolution
Noun
An unfolding
Opening out or working out
Process of development
Gradual, progresssive change
A movement that is part of a series or pattern
Those of you who know what I read will know the source and reason for this. I read a book where the participants described the workouts they were doing as "Evolutions". This took a while to sink in but it makes perfect sense. After all, those who do specific training for specific races are hoping to achieve anatomical adaptations that lead to better performances. The evolutions that we do lead to changes in our bodies that ultimately help us to win.
With that in mind, is there a specific reason for a workout that you are doing. Is it part of a larger training plan or evolution. If not, why are you doing it? Are you calling it a training when in fact it is just wasted time? I need to ask myself all the time, what benefit will this training do for me? How will it lead me to improve. How would I classify it? What specific anatomical adaptation will it achieve?
I have three primary goals for 2008
1. Qualify for and win the USARA championships
2. Win the checkpoint tracker series
3. Win the US rogaine championship
This weekend was time well spent toward those goals. Saturday I ran 20 miles up at Green mtn. My winter was spent injured and my running suffered. I have been attempting to increase my mileage and time on feet. It is a slow process of increasing mileage in order to avoid overuse injuries. I wasn't real fast but I ran all the hills and was completely pain free. Pupose - endurance and hillsToday I paddled around Bainbridge Isl. all 26.3 miles of it. Same deal working up my mileage and endurance. I have many other workouts including, speed, hills, tempo, and recovery. And of course, these are applied to my three main discipline sports.
What are you doing to get you to your goal?

More Photos from the baja adventure..Return trip
What happens when you pull hay? The dogs go wild for mice. that's my Sister in Sonoma getting hay for the horses.
The horses are better trained than the dogs. When its time to move them from the pature to their stalls for the night, put the food in the stalls and just open the gates. No guidance necessary. They just run for it.
What I wouldn't give for an orange tree in my back yard. Fresh oranges year round and the blossoms are great smelling.
This is what my legs look like when i leave a gap between my tight and my socks. Ouch! for some reason they looked like this on the back too. I can't figure that out.
