Day 200: Happy Days!
Calli- My mom told me that boredom isn’t bad (in reference to Day 199′s quote). She said that when you are bored you can learn a lot about yourself. What you think about when you are bored is like an insight into what you really want out of life. And from that you can set your goals. I think this is true. These last 200 days have been a challenge. A lot has also changed in my life. I started working, Jose and I are one month away from the big day, and through out it all I have been trying to stay on track with Let’s TRI. No I didn’t the whole time. There were weeks that I didn’t train. During those weeks, I thought about training. This is what I really want. So I push on! Here’s to the secrets that boredom can uncover.
Jose – Being 200 days into training, has given me a better insight of what I really want for my life. It’s not only about training, or being a triathlete. It is about perseverance, commitment, discipline and the will of doing something better for your life. Independently of where I end up being in 4 months after our triathlon debut, I now know how to aspire to be a better version of me everyday. Excuses are always going to be there for when you need one or more than one, but excuses are just the obstacles that stand between you and success. After 200 days of training harder than I ever did, with some ups and downs of course, I can’t wait to see how this is going to turn out for my life when I jump into Lake Erie to finally test what I can achieve when my mind is set to a goal. For now, may the training days come harder every time!
