Stronger, Fitter, Faster
Getting into the gym, getting on the bike, and hopefully winning some races someday
Stronger
Twelve years behind a desk does things to your body. For the first time in ten years I've started hitting a gym 3x a week but that doesn't mean I can muster too many pushups just yet.
Fitter
Lose a serious amount of weight. This is definitely key to making everything else work, so I'll be focusing on dropping pounds to get not only into a healthy range of BMI, but to also increase my endurance and fitness.
Faster
Under the guidance of a cycling coach, I'm spending more time in the saddle and riding not just longer, but smarter. Power meters, training plans, and intervals will be the order of the day.

Amazing cyclocross shot
Easily one of my favorite images of cyclocross ever, this fantastic shot looks like it could have been taken on another planet. It also reminds me that I'm basically working all year to get better at races like this, so while it may look like hell to some people, it's actually the highlight of the year for my riding.
