Weekend Training Update!

By Motivation, World Records No Comments

This weekend I spent training for the World Record on April 16th. One of the hardest parts of this World Record is sitting still for 11 hours!

Ryan Avery's apartmentI get antsy after sitting for one hour let alone doing the same thing over and over again (signing my name) and sitting in the same spot! So we decided to watch the entire 4th season of Breaking Bad on our couch while eating carbs that are allowed on the P90X diet!

Things I did not consider for this record was the Sharpie smell that my nose will digest for those 11 hours. I was starting to get a headache after 2 hours so I have some work to do in that category! My hand starts to get tired around 2,000 signatures right now but I have a great training schedule that will keep me on track.

Ryan Avery sending lettersI am 75% done with the letters I am writing everyone who sent in their request for me to write a hand written letter. I got WAY more than I thought I would but I want to make sure everyone gets one who met the deadline. It has been fun to write these and think about the times when hand written letters were the most popular form of communicating over far distances.

The website is coming along. It’s not 100% ready but if you want to check it out before we launch… here it is: www.CSUworldrecord.com. Register for the 16th online or onsite! We will launch next week and start getting the 5,000 people we need to break the World Record.

This has been a challenge and I am glad I had the weekend to practice. Now this week is all about strengthening my wrist, writing more letters and figuring out how not to get high from the Sharpie smell! Enjoy the start to your Monday and as always…

Dream BIG,
Ryan
