This morning I had a lot on my mind regarding stress, money, travel, and lots of *stuff*. I was going to write about that but then something happened.
I went to breakfast where I talked with a few people who are runners and one who does triathlons. Somehow that conversation got me thinking about doing a triathlon next summer. And I got… excited.
Yep. Really, really excited.
So I decided I’m going to do another triathlon. Or maybe even a few. Super sprints and sprints of course, since I’m not a distance athlete. I’ll look around later to see what triathlons are offered in Memphis and then I’ll start training.
I’m excited.
I can’t explain really why I’m excited. I guess I missed it? I’m excited because it will be something to do and it’s pretty fun. I know I only did one so far, but I had so much fun doing it! I’m excited because it should also help with some of my other problems… exercise helps with anxiety and stress.
Finally, something to work toward! Something to focus on! Something to DO!
YAY!!!!
I love it when there’s a new goal in sight! Good luck with training for the triathalon!
Thanks Grace! :)
Well, I’m training for a marathon! (okay… it’s a “Storage Wars” marathon but IT STILL COUNTS!)
Nice. We should have a cool Memphis blogger meet up soon!
Wohooo! Go you! Even I felt excited when I read this blog post :)
:) So exciting!
Yay triathlon! :) Isn’t it wonderful to have a goal to work for?
So happy you are doing something you really want to Mary!!!! Go for it!
It always feels nice working toward something especially one that you’re excited about.Wish you the best.Maybe I should also give it a try.
Valuable post and very well written. thanks for sharing.
Well it is nice to see some of your old buddies (jack) is still around and still his same old self! I am so proud of you, glad you found something to lift your spirits, wish I was able to do it with you, but alas I am not! But you know I will support you! Go Triathlon!!
Okay you piqued my interest so I had to check and there’s a Memphis in May Sprint Triathalon (http://mimsprint.racesonline.com/) and looky there, registration begins Saturday! :-) Looks like a fun course too!
Yeah I might do that one! It’s a BIG one though so it might be out of my league. Haha. But I’ll definitely do one.
Congrats on your decision. I’ve thought about trying a duatholon because I’m not much of a swimmer. Signing up for something is instant motivation.
As I read some of your posts I was thinking about some things
that I have been learning lately about fat loss. The main thing is that our
digestive system and hormones are really what determine fat loss and keeping it
off. If either one of those is out of wack then weight loss will be almost
impossible. If we fix what’s wrong with us inside and get back to true health,
then the outside will follow and we will get our long term weight loss results.
Some problems can be that we need to give our organs a cleanse/detox, or a low
calorie low fat diet causes a slow metabolism, candida yeast overgrowth in our
digestive and tract, processed foods with preservatives and chemicals, etc. Anyways I have a site that I would love for you to take a look at and see if it has any info that may be helpful to you and I would love any tips or advice to make it better as I am currently working on it and adding more to it. http://lovehandlesloser.com.
Good luck with all your fitness goals!

Good luck. I respect anyone who can run for such a long distance.
