Getting it Done

The hustle and bustle of the holidays are here. This is the time of year where it's easy to feel overwhelmed and difficult to find time to fit in a workout.  Trust me when I say you'll feel a lot better about things.  Even if it's just 20 minutes, or doing a push-up/sit-up/core routine in the morning...do something you won't regret that you did!!

Here is a little motivation to get going...

Dang...That Was Fun

Were you at the Endure It Holiday Party? If not you totally missed the Endure It invasion of the dancefloor at Blackfinn late night.  Thanks for everyone who came out, we really do have a great group of people.  I'm not going to lie though it's weird seeing people in "normal" clothes and not cycling gear!  Our facebook page should have some pictures up soon, and if you're not on facebook, we'll try to get some posted here as well.

Don't forget about meeting up at Waterfall Glen this Sunday at 7:30 a.m.  There are no specified groups at this time, so if you're worried about getting dropped...don't be! But at the same time, everyone should run their own pace.  We don't want those 6 minute milers to feel like they have to slow down if they don't want to.

Thanks again to everyone who made it out last night.

The Motions...

We are heavy into our computrainer season at Endure It, and we're pumped with the amount of people who have  been coming to class to work every week!  We have seen some big numbers and athletes fighting through some tough workouts, I keep hearing last Saturday was brutal.  Let's keep in mind that we can't just go through the motions.  You're sacrificing by getting up early, or missing time with your family, make sure you make the most of that time.  Remember you'll never regret a workout.

Don't forget tonight is the Endure It Holiday Party...It's going to be Epic!  Be at Blackfinn in Downtown Naperville at 7:00 p.m.  Rumor has it David is already apologizing for "party rockin".

Rumor has it Fix and Bird are going to have a "Walk Off"

Club Run - Sunday December 18 @ 7:30 a.m. - Waterfall Glen

After we witness Bird and Fix "Party Rockin" on Thursday night I'm guessing we'll need some time to recap the events of the evening.  Let's get together for a run on Sunday morning at Waterfall Glen.  The plan will be to meet in the parking lot at the trailhead on Cass at 7:30 a.m.  All abilities welcome, we will have maps of the trail for you and everyone will be able to run at their own pace.  The trail is a 9.4 mile loop...and by no means do you have to complete an entire loop!

If you plan on joining us please let us know by shooting an email to endureitclub@gmail.com that way we will know that we should be looking for you in the parking lot.  We will meet by the firepit at the trailhead, so when you turn off of Cass Ave. take your second right (the first right will put you in the parking lot which you can see off of Cass, it will work, but you'll have to walk to us at the trailhead).

Directions to Waterfall Glen:

From Naperville - 75th street East to Cass Avenue.  Right on Cass Avenue.  Continue on Cass Avenue past I-55.  Waterfall Glen will be on the right hand side right after I-55 (make sure you turn into Waterfall Glen or the sign for Argonne National Lab, it's the same road)

Staying Consistent & A Holiday Party Preview

One of my college roommates used to always say "Kids need consistency"...I believe that goes much beyond just kids.  We are in that time of year where it might be easy to put off a workout until later in the day, or shorten it, or just skip it.  But the bottom line is the more consistent you are the more successful you'll be.  Have you ever thought back to a workout and wished you hadn't completed it?  I mean unless something catastrophic happened (which we hope didn't) I can't imagine that you would.  So as the hustle and bustle of the holidays increases here make sure you try to stay as consistent as you can!  Get in the water...get on your bike...keep trucking along with the running challenge!

Oh yea, and you should come to the Holiday Party on Thursday night at Blackfinn...and here is why...
