A quick sponsor video

Nate Schroeder and Alex Borromeo came up to the new Indoor Arena yesterday to do a quick sponsor video. They recorded all the footage while I worked around the facility and this morning I threw it together. Here it is:

Goals Goals Goals

Well, an update to my 30 day challenge...

I have not so much as thought about pop (besides saying no to it) since I started the challenge. The pops part has been very easy. My brother Dusty said that he heard of a professional basketball player that had been drinking (1) 12 ounce Mountian Dew a day, and once he stopped he ended up losing around 20 pounds. Dusty either made that up to inspire me, or the guy lied about how much Mountain Dew he was drinking...

10 days in I was at a nice dinner with Ann, and decided it would be out of place to just drink water, so I endulged and had a couple beers. I have drank a couple times socially, but as with any goal/challenge, I have made progress and moved forward. It is not always vital to 'hit the mark,' especially in personal development. It is important that you improve though, and the first step is always thinking about what you would like to change, set a goal, then figure out the steps or sub goals you would need to attain to hit the larger goal.

I am going to a new hot yoga studio, as my 30 day unlimited pass expired from the last studio, and I want to check out other places in my area. Yoga has been very fun, and it gives me a reason to wake up early. The nice thing about the new studio I go to is that they have early morning classes Monday thru Friday starting at 6:00 AM or 6:30 AM. Yesterday was my first day and the class was a Power Yoga class. That stuff is intense. Kicked my butt. Really good for me as it felt like there was lots of lower body stretch, which is my tight area.

As far as the Indoor Arena goes, I will probably get a desk today. My office is complete, and I believe the final inspection is taking place as I type. If it is, I am going in, heading to get a new desk, and getting my 'personal space' set up. I will also be sealing up the last of the tarps today. The tarps look very good and I am glad they are almost done. I will post some pictures if I get some time. Along with that, the Broadway shop should be 70% moved or so by the end of the day. Hoping to be operating the store section of the new facility by Friday.

Anyways, if you read this I hope things are going good for you and you have a great week.

Aother Indoor update

Here is a quick video clip I took after the turf install was complete today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8jsMT1pbMY

So the turf install is complete and the additions are ALMOST done. There is still some electrical work that needs to be complete, and some trim work. We should be starting to transfer some product down tomorrow and generally getting ready for moving the Broadway shop to the new facility. This place is going to be amazing. I cannot wait to finally put my gear on and play there, I haven't had my gear out since I cleaned and put it away after Phoenix...

The big delay at this point is the netting. It has not shipped yet, as it is being custom made and it is not yet complete. I will post up here when it ships.

Check back here regularly for updates on the arena.

30-Day Challenge update

Well, it has been 9 days since I decided not to drink Mountain Dew or alcohol for 30 days... only 21 days to go... I believe I have consumed 100 ounces of water each day, but am not positive. There were a few days were I had many smaller glasses of water, not using my normal 33.9 ounce water bottle. Anyways, all is going well. I am also working on a few more videos for our website (www.doodlebugsportz.com). I will post them here as they get completed.

As far as reading goes, I have been taking the easy route and doing the audiobook thing. I am currently listening to 'Think & Grow Rich' and it is an awesome book. Listening to it seems much simplier than actually reading it. There are a lot of complex sentences that are much easier to process when listening as opposed to reading.

I am also going to this seminar on Tuesday on building your own business. Should be very interesting. If anyone wants to go it is at 7PM in Lynnwood. Shoot me an email and we can go together (danny@doodlebugsportz.com).
