What do you do in your personal time?
For those of you that have followed my ezine over the last year, you know I've been working towards fulfilling a goal and a dream:
finishing my first triathlon!
(Yep, that's me in the white!) Well this past Sunday, I did it! And what an amazing experience it was. When you step into 70 degree water in a reservoir, and see the middle buoy way off in the distance, the feeling can only be summed up as overwhelm. But as I swam around that buoy, something kicked in and said "Hey, you're going to make this!"
From then on, I turned my 16 mile venture into something I knew I was going to finish.
Though I must admit, I did have to walk 2 of the 3.1 miles (my side hurt too bad to jog), I crossed that finish line with gusto.
And I have the medal to prove it! It's laying here on my desk, and will be a constant reminder to myself that I can do ANYTHING if I put my mind to it.
And now I'm off to train for next year's triathlon. Care to join me?
