Day 500- Here we go looking @ a milestone!

I am excited and looking forward to the challenge. What song or thought is running through my head? How about this work hard, live right and find something you believe in? What does that mean exactly? As I get set to go workout, I will attempt to answer that. First work hard that's easy to understand it means give it all you got. Second live right, means take notice of your personal habits. If you are a person of good morals and integrity you are living right. The third is the most challenging of all. Anyone that can find something they really believe in in my opinion is a dynamic force. Once you are fixed on a belief and firmly believe in it you create an indestructible bond that can not be broken.You and the belief are one and the same. I hope that my efforts in the last 500 days have served that purpose of working out. I also, hope and pray that God blesses the streak that I have put together. The time is now, to work hard, live right and find something you believe in!

The 500TH day is done! I told one of the other gym members that today is the 500Th consecutive day. We joked about breaking the machine a few times. I got more psyched by talking about it and raced off to do a 168 in the 1st 10 minutes. Quick tells us that 168 times 6= 1008.Friends 1008 is awesome.I was on a good roll and had a 252 @ 15 minute mark. Which of course is again a 1008 pace. I was blasting had a 334 @ the 20 minutes mark which was a 1002.
However kept a good pace for the next 10 minutes another 168 for a 502 in 1st 30 which is rarefied air. In the previous 499 attempts I have only burned 500 or more calories in 30 minutes about 5 or 6 times. So, I was at 502 in 30. If I get a 498 or more in the 2ND 30 minutes I do something I have only done 3 times out of the last 499 attempts ( you know that is not totally accurate because in the last 499 days I have done 502 60 min rides. Reality check is in the previous 502 attempts I have burned 1000 or more calories in 60 minutes 3 times.

Here is a list of those Days:

Sunday January 11Th 2009=1003= Day 324 special note in 2ND half did a 508!
Friday March 27 Th 2009= 1006 508/498 = Day 399
Sunday April 5Th 2009 did 520 on the 1st 30 WOW!- then 1,013 = Day 408

Sunday June 14TH 2009 did 507 in 1st 30 minutes finished with a 927.

It is okay in the last 30 minutes I could only do 446 and wound up with a 948. Not too shabby when you consider that I have done 900 or more in 60 since June 19TH. Back to day 483, a total of 17 straight days. Also, I beat yesterday's total of 938 in 60. I wish I could relish in the moment but I choose not to. Its on to Day 501--- Where I get to practice CANI-
Constant
And
Never ending
Improvement
