thanks to clayton and renee at carmichael training systems for being pro VO2 testers!

this is the part of his vacation where erik had to torture himself on a bike for over an hour.

totally shattered at the end of it all.

i think my favorite part of carmichael's facility was all the quotes on the walls, BIG...

imagine looking up at one of those when you're smashing it on a test.

I'm going to reference back to Chase Jarvis' blog, yet again, and his 7 creative habits:

1.Get into adventures. Instead of saying no, say yes. Whether it’s agreeing going to the South China Sea or to Sundance festival or the grocery store.

2. Devour popular culture. Examine the work of other artists, movies, books, magazines, the interwebs.
3. Take pictures of things. I photograph things I see in the world that inspire me and usethem for reference.

4. Scribble ideas. On a notepad, ipad, or whatever.
5. Share your ideas with others. Better ideas often comefrom a conversation. Give and receive. It’s a dialectic.

6. Ask Questions. Lots of other people know more than you do.
7. Listen. Try to listen carefully. When other people talk, you should listen. Ideas are everywhere.

fabulous advice, don't you think??

a november resolution, to do a better job of harnessing creativity when it comes along instead of pushing it to the side.
