Slogging through the Winter Doldrums

When I began this blog last September, I thought it would be interesting to track my progress during the 300 days prior to the 2014 PDGA Amateur Disc Golf World Championships.  

I have found that finding something to write about every day is hard.  Who wants to hear about how much weight I’ve lifted every day, or how may miles I’ve walked? I mean really, day after day, after day is just boring.  I'm actually rather surprised that I continue to stick it out.

So sometimes it seems that days go by before I post another message on my blog.  Today is one of those days. 

Training through the Christmas/New Year’s season was a new thing for me.  While I continued to train every work day, and played disc golf on the weekends, I also had the added detraction of all the holiday food, Christmas cookies, and family gatherings with all sorts of good food to deal with as I tried to  work toward my goal of being as fit as possible by July.

The last few weeks have been a turn around.  I lost those few extra pounds that crept on the scale and am still working hard to not waste a day of training. 

The last few times that I have played disc golf I’ve noticed that I actual can throw farther than I could previously.  I’ve also noticed that my technique has suffered.  I guess muscle memory at my age needs more regular reminding of how I should throw those hunks of plastic.


This spring I’ve signed up for several tournaments.  This is a new thing for me.  It will be interesting to see how I do. I will definitely report the results here.

171 Days to Worlds!
