The Next Test

The Next Test-

I spent the last month lost in a fitness daze. My workouts were missing something... I would be exhausted after giving everything I had, but something wasn't there. I just didn't have the same drive and intensity during my WODs, and then it hit me. I had lost the "FIRE." The Half Ironman was a great test and a hell of an accomplishment, but it was over. I had been looking back instead of looking forward. Never have I realized how important goal setting is until this moment. I signed up for the All City Open in Dallas on December 10th. This is just what I needed. I had nothing on the horizon to look towards and train for. Once I clicked "Submit" I was BACK. Instantly I had that drive that I had been missing. Time to do work!!!

Finding something to shoot for is key to keep motivation and drive high. Without it we are sometimes going through the motions and don't even realize it. A "daze" can happen, combat that with goal setting. It doesn't matter what it is.... find something that motivates you, do whatever it takes to achieve it. Talk is cheap...you'll never get there if you never try. Set those goals and Sic Em!!

Post Iron Man thought-
Never in my life have I stepped out of my comfort zone like I did for the 70.3. Every mile of training was difficult, every mile of the race was tough, but I can say, there is nothing more exhilarating, more rewarding, than to battle for 6hrs 49mins and cross that finish line. Every bit of pain endured during the 3 months of training was completely worth it. It hasn't really sank in yet, but this was a huge stepping stone in my training and life. If i can do this then....what can't I do??? Challenge yourself every day and don't be afraid to reach high because you never know what you can accomplish. Whats stopping you?? Just yourself. Do it!!
