52 Weekly Lists To Make Your Year

As an addendum to my Lust-For-Life List, aka your Bucket List, I am proposing doing a weekly list of goals to achieve. Going beyond tasks, this list is about encouraging you to take up some short-term or new challenges. With 52 such lists (sounds like a pack of cards), you can track your achievements and accomplishments, however small you think it is. Incremental gains add up to become significant progress. Every workout strengthens your body and adds to your fitness. Every new initiative considered and executed may yield new results and outcomes. Start the new year with new starts.

This evening, as strongly recommended and urged by Hui Koon, I attended our Triathlon Family Monday night swims. Although it lasted for an hour, it was well attended by about 20 people including my regular swim buddies Hui Koon, Danny, Richard, Julian and Desmond. The former two improved their swimming prowess significantly since they joined this weekly training session. Ably led by swim coach, Dion this free session is a good way of spicing up your swim training with the guided swim sets involving fins and paddles. Although it lasted only an hour for the first session of the year, I felt less fatigued and I could maintain reasonable form for most of the way. Two-hour long swim workouts tax my upper body unbearably, and I sink into bad form.

RedSports is looking for interns to report on local sports stories. Do spread this request generously. Editor, Les Tan has featured some of stories in the past year, including our interview with Dr Ben Tan, and currently, with Dr Kua Harn Wei. Part 1-3 of Harn Wei’s interview has been featured in the past week. Give it a read if you missed it. I will update you about an exciting new endurance soon.
