Team headstrong will enter 2014 under 2 new teams, Greenville Velo (out of Greenville, SC) and Maddog83 (out of Tucson, Az).. It has been a great 4 years of racing, companionship, and community. We have accomplished some great things, but like all things, time moves on and so will we. See below for more details......

Goals - more info

G made a comment on a past posting that prompted me to think more about goals. Ever hear someone say, " I don't set goals." Then there is an excuse put forth. This is very inaccurate. You see, everyone ALWAYS sets goals. Goals are nothing more than fore thought. Each us does think about what we are going to do prior to doing it.

If we are not proactive in setting our goals, we are like a computer program. We have a DEFAULT setting and that setting is the status quo. So, if we don't proactively think of goals, we are actually goal setting to maintain the status quo. If we set no new goals for 2011, you can bet it will look a lot like 2010.

This is why most people live like Bill Murray in the Ground Hog Day. They live the same year, the same month, the same day, over and over again. This is a very comfortable way to live but I prefer adventure over comfort....how about you?

As I prepare to hike 77 miles on the Foothills Trail next week with Em, i have to say, heck yeah, I prefer adventure! Now, maybe on mile 75 or so, some amenities such as hot water would surely be nice, especially for those in our group joining our hike later on, maybe a shower would be nice for their sake......but, bring on the bears, snakes, rain, and all creatures great and small for next year (but, please no spiders, i'm scared). I'm ready for an adventurous 2011!! Let us never be idle and continually push the limits!

I'd say you have set a bold goal!
