Tip #1 was "never get involved in a land war in Asia". No, wait, it was "get an archrival".
Tip #2 is "accountability". If you have a pseudo-compulsive tendency to compile stats (like my Dad and I), then it is fun to try and crank up the numbers and then tell someone. Every morning, Jim G and I report on what we did, and the speed etc.
Here's my year-to-date report. The point isn't so much the numbers themselves but the goal of beating them in the 2nd half of 2006.
1st half of 2006:
Swim: 17.6 miles (28.3 km)
Bike: ~240 miles (386 km)
Run: 137 miles (221 km)
Run/walk: 52.4 miles (2 marathons)
Calorie intake: a lot
and yet I don't feel fit because I haven't worked out in 3 days!
