Wow, it's been 3 weeks since my last update, a bit hard to believe that it's been that long and then when I look at my training schedule and realize I have been slacking for awhile and I have my 1st International distance race in 8 weeks - holy crap!
Guess I need to get my butt in gear.....to my defense I have been a bit busy....no actually I'm not making excuses this time. Yes we have been moving into our new house the past couple of weeks but I still could have made the time to train and I made a choice not to!
Today I had a friend participate in her first 1/2 Marathon and another friend participate in her first 1/2 Ironman. Sadly one was successful and the other was not. I'm so proud to know both of these ladies and each of them have been an inspiration to me. My friend "J" has never participated in sports and would not call herself an athlete. She had some bumps in the road but she persevered she overcame her doubt and completed her race. She will participate in a full Marathon in October of this year. She inspires me to want to push through my lack of motivation and indecision on whether I want to continue to tri. My other friend "M" conquered weight loss and has been hampered with various injuries, she's had to cancel participating in races because of injuries / illnesses. Despite a desire to succeed, today was not her day but she lives to race another day. She too inspires me to push through my lack of motivation and indecision on whether I want to continue to tri and helps me truly believe that success is not only measured by the end product.
My training for about a month wouldn't exactly be called training, more like working out with the thought that I'm racing later. Well later is 8 weeks away. Despite my lack of motivation to participate in this race, no matter what - I'm doing this race. I had to postpone doing an International distance tri a couple times due to injury, I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to sabotage my efforts. I'm signed up, I paid my fees and I'm going to do this. I need to get off my butt, get motivated to do this and stop making excuses.
