I am feeling really motivated right now. My training is as I want it to be. My diet is going well and I enjoy it. My running may be at it's best place ever. I am progressing with my swimming. My bike and I have become cuddle buddies here in the apt. I have been riding to the pool and plan a long ride Saturday. The weather has been perfect(for December in Cleveland). I can see my Ironman goal. I have no questions about what I am doing. I am distracted by nothing.
This would be a good time for me to ask myself why. Why Ironman? Why Triathlon. Why have I become so obsessed with this dream? How will this change my life? What if I fail? How will I face injuries? At what cost is this dream worth? and many more questions. I plan to use a few posts to answer these questions. Some answers may surprise you some may surprise me.
However I answer, now would be the time. Once the training gets tough I may need to reflect on these answers. I don't want to question my goals during the tough training times.
Stay tuned....Next post...My history in multisport.(where have I come from)

That's a really great idea. When the going gets tough you'll have a great place for motivation.
So glad that your training is going so excellently! I'm equally obsessed and loving it :)

Because it's time! You've been around triathlon and Ironman for many many years and know exactly what it means and what you're getting into. That means that making the decision to do it yourself is based on much knowledge and consideration; making it the right choice for right now.
I'm greatly reducing my training volume for next year, but would still love to do a beginning, middle, or end portion of your workouts to catch-up with you. Gotta get this knee and heel taken cared of first, but I'm thinking next spring I should be back out there regularly again.
