These past few weeks have me evaluating my goals, which include training for a Gran Fondo, a 70.3 next march and an Ironman. Thoughts and concern about the time on hand necessary for training, which at best is limited. I know that there are those of us who do not have the luxury of training as we would like.
The aspect of work.... being slammed every day it seems. Work is what it is WORK, WORK, WORK, as we are being hammered at work o get so spent, and thus effects my desire to get out after work and train. So I am relegated to the weekend warrior mentality of training, and is often the course taken.
I have however, been reevaluating with loads of self talk.... demons if you will. Can I manage? Or is it a waste of time and money? There you go.... I have to kick those thoughts right in the ass EVERYDAY LATELY. Haha.. manage I will!!
Then along comes along a fun Triathlon and one that brings back that love for triathlons again. Our 5:30 Club Team does this fun tri every year... loads of smack talk and friendly rivalry from the guys I consider my brothers is something I cannot do without. This year we have several new members who will be inspired just as I was. Twelve of us at the Camp Pendleton Triathlon.... I am so stoked!!
I guess being reasonable with my aspirations, keeping perspective, and know that these feeling are a norm. I sit and relax while listening to music I love remembering the feelings I love as I push myself to new challenges. Failure is not losing and is something that should be struck from thought. The actual win is really about trying your best, if you can't see that then I'm sorry for you.....
As I watched the sun end my day with sillouettes of what was... I know the sun will not disappoint and be there for me tomorrow. So I will do my best to meet the new day full on, doing and being the best I can...
Evaluating what I can do....oh yeh, being accepting of the time at hand. I just have to be happy with just that!! Cheers to life full on...
