Usually I like t set a goal, make that goal, then create the next goal. It's just how I am. After last years triathlon, I had all these ideas:I would do a 100 mile bike ride in March and an Olympic length triathlon in May and then ease on into the Malibu triathlon in September. But now with the fact that my life will be completely changing in a few months after 8 years, I knew I couldn't do that to myself. Triathlons take dedication and commitment. It's hard enough to be away from my family to train for these things, let alone not know what my next station in life is going to be.
It's difficult for me to not have a goal. I'm still exercising daily like I always have, and if I want to do a 5k or 10k race I will. I want to keep my weight down, which means I need to have some type of routine, I just don't have it in me mentally to do more then a weekly routine right now. Husband is also dealing with his injury, which will be his set back for the next year, and without him to do all these rides and races with, that particular motivator is gone, which makes it a lot harder to say "hey see ya, I'm gonna take off and go ride my bike for 3 hours with your friends while you stay home and watch the kid and dog".
I'm striving for balance this year. That was one of my winter solstice/new years goals.I figure the world didn't end, so now I actually have to follow through, so annoying.
