Today marked the 1 month anniversary of my return from Survivor and it's good to be home. I had a great 2 weeks off before starting school during which time I took things really easy! The biggest shock was just how much strength and endurance I lost out there. Sometimes it feels like I've lost everything that I've worked on since I was 13 years old. That's probably not true, but when you're used to going out for an hour run and now 15 minutes feels like a lifetime out on the road, it's obvious that I have a lot of work to do.
So I'm trying to get my gears in motion to train for the Pinehurst Triathlon in October. I actually found it more difficult than usual to get motivated to start training for the first time ever. Usually I can't wait to get back out there on the trails. But I'm starting at square 1 again so it took a little extra motivation this time around. Each day i'm getting stronger though, which makes it easier and easier to keep going. I like to think of it as successive motivation! And it seems to be working.
