In the Zone

A friend and I squeezed out for a late round of golf yesterday.  For those who know Japan, we played Glen Oaks Country Club which is about 15-minutes past Narita Airport.  Perhaps the first positive spill-over effects from PCP, but I was absolutely blasting my driver and long-irons yesterday for whatever reason.  Don't think it was added strength as much as it may have been from added flexibility and less body-mass around the mid-section allowing for better rotation.

Aside from one short I missed putt from 2.5 feet, it was the best half-round of golf I've ever had - shooting a score of 40 and hitting about 5-pars (which for self-professed "hacker" like me, is about as good as its going to get...-).  Our tee off time wasn't until 2:30pm so we played through...with only plums for lunch lost a bit of energy and concentration on the back-9, hitting one of my drives OB and notching a double-bogy on a par-3.  End result was a disappointing 46 on the back-9, so failing to break my personal best of 83 by 3 strokes.  Oh well, goals are supposed to be hard to accomplish so will need to work a bit harder to better the P/B in the coming weeks.  In any case, really felt in the "zone" yesterday and was a really awesome day which I'll chalk up to the PCP training to date.

More on personal goals:  I've seen some PCPers have put in goals of where they'd like to get their weight / body-fat percentage to by the end of the program.  As things in writing usually have more meaning, figured would post a few goals myself.  Weight wise - would think a 68kg from my 76kg starting point is a good weight to shoot for -the weight I had back in high-school senior year.  Agree with Patrick on the point that weight basically does not mean anything, should be more a function of how you look and feel.  So on this theme, would think a body-fat content of 15% is a challenging target to set by the end of three months versus my beginning percentage of 21%.  Let the games begin!
