I log religiously over at NASGA. It's been a

*GIGANTIC*

motivator for me. Also...a reality check. There are three other 50-59 yo guys logging over there and we've gotten to be friends. Thing is, if I see Bill pushing a LOT more weight than I am, unless there's some technique factor or something, then I know I might want to ramp it up. Ditto for Todd and Jeff. Todd is a nationally ranked 50-59 discus thrower, almost exactly my size. He outhrows me in discus by about 15 feet, but that's technique, not strength. I'm not out to "beat Bill" or "Beat Todd" or anything, but they provide a yardstick that I can check myself with. They're actually all in Georgia/South Carolina and they'll all be at the Masters Worlds and I am SO looking forward to....

whuppin' some Southern good old boy ***!

But seriously, it will be a blast and a half to throw with these guys after basically training with them for two years. Lies will get told, beer will get drunk, women will swoon with desire. It's gonna be EPIC.


If folks want, I can log here, too. I started out doing that last year, but didn't get a lot of feedback so I stopped.
