What time is it in Wyoming?
I have no idea what time it is in Wyoming, but since I just googled that exact phrase, I thought it makes a better title than goals. I am not really a goal oriented person in the classic sense. Did you know there even was a classical sense? If so tell me about it cause I totally just made that up. But the point was I see an objective, i.e. a goal, and do what needs to be done to accomplish that. Unlike others who set goals like I want to lose weight, or run a sub 8 mile, or dead lift 400 plus pounds.
So the folks I work out with have goals. They asked me the other day between me hurting myself on the glute ham machine and throwing up what my goals were. I didn’t really have any. I once off the cuff said my goal was to punch hard enough that I could kill a man by taking off his head with one punch. That was a bad goal, because well you could never really test it without going to jail.
So I thought I would come up with a goal. I don’t really care about losing weight, although it is a nice benefit to working out, so I don’t have a goal weight. I don’t really fight anymore so I don’t have a full on goal to fight. Somehow in the middle of this discussion, the green man got brought up. All of a sudden we were trying to pick up the green man by the crotch and neck and pick him up and slam him down.
None of us could lift this monstrosity of only 160 pounds, so I decided that this would be my goal, to slam the green man. To accomplish this, I’ll continue with our performance workouts of the Russian Squat Cycle.
I actually have another secret goal. Which since I am putting it on the internet, well its not really that secret. It is to run the Great Aloha Run. If you know me, well this one shouldn’t be that big of a surprise. So those are the workout goals for the time being. We will see how they change or grow.

Good luck. I hope you can slam that green thing soon!

I think it’s 4 am in Wyoming. And if I’m wrong, it’s because you’re reading this comment too early. Come back later.
I love goals. Remember when I had the goal of no TV for 2 hours a day. What happened to that one? You’ve inspired me to reexamine some personal goals.
