I was at Bootcamp this morning.   I was supposed to start my running training, but it’s raining.   Yes, I know that it could rain the day of the Triathlon, but I’m not starting out in the rain.   That’s a whole different post.   So anyway,  before class while we were stretching someone asked about what I had signed up for.   When I told them, they asked why I just didn’t start out with a 5K run. 

The more I think about it, the more I realize that probably would have been the more rational thing to do.   Then again, I really never claimed to be rational, did I?   Yes, I know it’s crazy.    Yes, I know people are probably scratching their heads thinking she’s not going to make it.   I even wonder it too, but I know if I make it out of the bay; I will finish it.   Don’t know how long it will take, but I will finish it:)    

I also know that I am not going into this like an idiot like some people think.   I realize that I just got my behind off the couch 6 weeks ago, but the Triathlon isn’t till September.   I’ve got time.   And I am using that time wisely.   I am doing Bootcamp classes (until my Groupon runs out).  I am running/walking.   I am doing laps at the pool.   I am preparing and doing all that I can do to be ready.   I am putting my big (hopefully to be smaller) panties on and getting ready for this!

My reply to the person today was that I just needed a goal and I really do.   If I wasn’t “training,” I more than likely would not have gone to the gym today.   It’s a cold, rainy, dreary day and I went yesterday.   I would have just skipped it since I’m going swimming tonight.   But the fact that I know I only have a limited amount of time to get it together is keeping me motivated and moving.   That’s all I can do.

The real question is, what is going to motivate me when it’s all over??????
