Motivations and Incentives

For the past so many years, I’ve had trouble staying with a routine longer than a month because when you’re a student, life is hardly predictable. Yay for graduation coming this Sunday!  I feel like I need something to kick me into gear and really get me motivated before next winter comes and I’m trying to start again next spring.

I was looking into maybe signing up for a 5k in a couple of months so that I had something to train for and then I found the Iron Girl sprint triathlon in Columbia, MD this coming August. That’s about 3 and a half months from right now. I’m definitely not in the greatest shape currently but I already swim fairly well and I know how to ride a bike so the challenge would be building up endurance and improving my skills.

If I could do this, I can imagine myself crossing the finish line and just being so overwhelmed with a sense of accomplishment… I want this to be my goal.
