I am struggling. Over the past 9 years or so, I have been involved in endurance sports. I have participated in multiple marathons and triathlons, including finishing 4 Ironman triathlons. I have watched my body change from a soft 34 year old accountant’s to a fit 40 year old athlete’s.
The problem is, I am now 43. And a half.
Since Ironman Arizona in November of 2011, much of the softness has returned, and with it, a lack of motivation. I have had a few good starts, but the day to day drive to move my body out of the bed and over the ground (or water) is proving difficult to rekindle. I know what to do, I just don’t do it.
So here is what I need: accountability. I am committed to three races in 2013: the Little Rock Half Marathon in March, Memphis in May Olympic Distance triathlon, and Ironman Florida in November. I have my training plans laid out, and I need voices cheering, jeering and encouraging me to finish strong. Jump in with me, and let’s do this!
In what areas are you having trouble getting motivated?
