Motivation...

I had a 1hr 40min ride I was supposed to do. Work carried over a little until 530 and I just wanted to go home. I still got out there and did an hour ride but man I just felt like not doing anything. Luckily my British buddy Mercer got me through that. Then this morning I felt like I should have stayed out and completed my ride. I told the wife about how unmotivated I was (this really being the first time I just didn't want to train) and she suggested me to list 5 reasons on why I want to do the Ironman Florida. So I thought I would post that today...

Reasons for me to complete Ironman Florida:
1) I will cross the finish line at an elite event such as the Ironman.
2) I can buy a Ironman Florida T-shirt and wear it proudly.
3) I can get an Ironman tattoo. (SWEET!!!)
4) So I can brag to family, friends, and co-workers.
5) Ohh yea, Overall fitness.

Really all in all I want to push the limits of my body. I really like waking in the morning and feeling my body react to the day before's workout. It let's me know I am alive and I am working hard. Something inside of me likes a little pain to work with. Sick I know!

Well this week has been rough as stated above my other bike ride was cut because well a huge storm came out of no where. The runs have been going ok but I need to get my bike in or my long bike ride will suffer. Take care and have a nice hard weekend, because I have one....
