Day 11/100 – Dirt is heavy
Worked all afternoon on these plant beds. The upper one required removing about 5’x20′ of lawn, lower one was much smaller. Shovel them out, remove rocks, grass, roots, etc fill them in, cut lawn edges straight and mulch. All human powered tools. #100days #artdudeplacement http://constantine.name/100days

Live immediately
Putting things off is the biggest waste of life: It snatches away each day as it comes, and denies us the present by promising the future. The greatest obstacle to living is expectancy, which hangs upon tomorrow and loses today. You are arranging what lies in Fortune’s control, and abandoning what lies in yours. What are you looking at? To what goal are you straining? The whole future lies in uncertainty: Live immediately.

From primal to bipedal
From the medial rotation of the ilium creating the lateral fascial line and allowing single leg stance to the abduction of the foot’s 1st ray creating the spiral fascial line and lateral fascial line allowing the stability for a rigid lever – everything – I repeat everything favors locomotion – and we need to train the body as such.

Day 8/100 – More running
It is extremely helpful to have a training partner… neither of us felt motivated to run, until we guilted each other into it. Not much of a run, but part of this project is to have “no zero days”; no days where I do nothing in terms of training. #100days #artdudeplacement http://constantine.name/100days

Arm-strong brand mower, plus lots of rain = great work out! #100days #artdudeplacement http://constantine.name/100days

A Philosophy of Coaching
All coaches carry out their role based on combination of their experience, knowledge, values, opinions and beliefs, likely with most unaware that they are doing this at all. This melting pot of factors amounts to what can be described as the coach’s philosophy. The question is – do you actually know yourself well enough to understand how these elements are combining to produce your own philosophy of coaching? Do you understand what your core coaching approach and methods are?

Don’t over-fill; Don’t over-sharpen

100 days of trying to train every day
I've recently returned home inspired to up my training. In recent months, I've been generally trying to do something-- some sort of activity, even just a good long walk-- every day. So I'm going to try to do 100 consequtive days of getting in a good training session- something. anything. With a public post to keep me honest and on track.

Day 3/100 – 30 minutes on a rail
Fell off many times, but remembering Stephane’s advice each time: “Go easy on yourself and simply get back on.” Exhaustion, anger, shaking, soaked in sweat, eternity. #artdudeplacement #100days

Day 2/100 – Morning run
Day 1/100 – QM
Home and inspired to try a new challenge (which I’ve seen others do) – 100 consequtive days of getting in a good training session- something. anything. With a public post to keep me homest and on track. Will you join me? #artdudeplacement

Albert Camus on the Three Antidotes to the Absurdity of Life
In a world whose absurdity appears to be so impenetrable, we simply must reach a greater degree of understanding among men, a greater sincerity. We must achieve this or perish. To do so, certain conditions must be fulfilled: men must be frank (falsehood confuses things), free (communication is impossible with slaves). Finally, they must feel a certain justice around them.
