Triathlons, Marathons, and Insanity, Oh My!

January 5, 2010

Yep, I’m doing it! Not sure what exactly or when or even why, but I’m tired of the body I’m living in, the excuses I make and basically I just want to prove myself wrong. The self that says:

I’ll never have the fit body I’ve dreamed about even though I’ve seen my overweight friends finally achieve theirs…in their 40s.

It’s impossible to lose weight now that I’m over 40!

I’ll never be able to run a marathon, let alone a half or 5K. Especially since I HATE running.

And that Iron Man Hawaii triathlon is INSANE! I’m not even sure I can swim, bike or run a mini-triathlon.

I’m not sure how it will all work. (Like I can fit something else into my crammed schedule, though I did wake at 6:16 am!) Maybe I’ll start with a 5K in a couple of months, maybe more (months not miles.) Maybe a triathlon isn’t on the agenda until next year, maybe sooner and I have NO plans of ever running a marathon, but who knows! I’ve signed up for Beginner Triathlete.

Anyone want to jump on the insanity train?

Later as a journalist and novelist, I realized words, if used powerfully, have the ability to touch, stir, and reach from the depths of one soul to another. Today as a writing and health coach, I inspire others to live their extraordinary life and encourage them to share their unique stories.
