Fitness Goals
I decided to start with my fitness goals for the summer to come. They are the easiest for me to focus in on, and therefore, write about in the few minutes I have.
I have decided to do the following:
The Chaska Triathlon
The Best of Both: Biking and running the Firehouse 50
The Minot Marathon
Now that I have posted and advertised my said goals, I hope I will follow through with them. There are two things that I have learned about goals this year. The first is that your goal needs to have a purpose. To ride my bike more than last year is not a good goal because there is nothing for me to focus my efforts on. Secondly, you need to get others involved in your goals. Goals that are written on a piece of paper and hidden away are never accomplished. So, those are my goals for today. I will let you know what my other goals are in the next few weeks (maybe).

I am very impressed with the quality of both the material and the construction of the product. They outshine all other products for the same category!
The material is thin, so I am a bit concerned about riping.

Great Deal
Pros: Lightweight, Comfortable, Durable
Best Uses: Fly Fishing
Describe Yourself: Beginner
The boots are designed for waders, so the toe box is bigger. I purchased them a size too big, which left quite a bit of room in my toe area. I would not recommend going up a full, but a half size.
