Ten-mile run this morning. Averaged 8:30 a mile, not a bad pace for me. I'm trying to train for a big local 10K September 18 while I start my training for ANW, and for the next few months they should complement each other. And by the time I start strength training in the fall and winter I'm no longer running competitively, so I won't have to deal with the challenge of trying to add muscle while shedding weight on the roads.
I've added to the links on the blog, and among my finds was American Ninja Warrior Quest, a blog by a guy who's almost exactly one year ahead of me on this whole fortysomething-midlife-crisis-fitness-challenge trajectory. I prefer how my page looks, but no doubt I'll be scanning his archives in search of tips on how to run my blog and my training.
At first, I was disappointed that I wasn't the first to come up with this little brainstorm. But of course, there must be hundreds of other guys out there who've tried blogging about their attempts to get on Ninja Warrior or other fitness goals. Just by the percentage of my Facebook friends who can't stop sharing their triathlon training, this is probably a pretty popular combination. And why not? If I know I have to blog about my training, I'm much more likely to be diligent about both training and blogging.
And know that I know there are others out there doing this, I get to see what it'll take to do it better than the rest.
The blog about Ninja Warrior and one man's efforts to one day compete on Japan's greatest game show.
