Until today. Recently my supervisor said, "Ironman. In three years we will do the Ironman.'
My first thought went to the movie. Thinking to myself, okay...sure, we can watch the movie in three years? Oh, crud. She meant the race. The death defying, over 12 hours (minimum) race.
Seems beyond possible and not even close to any desire/goal I have ever thought to have.
This blog :http://www.nomeatathlete.com/ironman-wisconsin-recap/made me think it over a bit. It's an inspiring story, and she makes it seem like a more realistic goal.
Also, when I googled 'thriathlon shoes' these babys came up and I am in love with them!
I mean, really, who can resist shoes that look that fun!?All in all, maybe someday I'll set the amazing goal to do the Ironman Triathlon, and maybe not. But after the conversation, the one thing I did realize is that I have set very few goals in my life. Sure, I am proud of things I may have accomplished so far, but to set a goal that would really challenge and mature me for the better I have yet to do.
I want to change that. I believe in life you always need something to look forward to and work towards. Be it small or large. I want to be able to balance the easily forgotten beauty of everyday-not rushing through those moments too fast or take them for granted- but also working and striving to better myself for tomorrow with goals of all types.
Next step? Find a goal that fits me and-repetitive-would challenge and mature me.
