Here you go just watch it and think of the words and not who is saying them.
"It's not about how hard you can hit, it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward." -Rocky Balboa-
Why an Ironman race.
I guess the question that people look at me is ask is “Why in the hell do you want to do that? That is impossible! “ Really I get that. Or I get the look and indifference of it. It funny when you think about it. I try just to look at it and say what the hell why not.. I t makes me think well ok now you have to do it. You have to push and see what you can do now. How far can you push? How far can you go? Well I can say I will go all the way.. Just like the phoenix Tat that I have .. I will rise to the challenge and do this..
Because I can and will.. Just like William Ernest Henley says in his poem Invictus.. “ I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.
It is a mind game that I have to win .. It is easy to give up , to submit to doubt. To say I cannot do this.. and what will I think of myself tomorrow and the next day. The funniest part I fear most is failure.. Failure to complete the race , Failure to start.. Failure to meet my expectation of myself.
What the hell am I thinking? Random stuff
Ok so I get ideas … some good some not so good.. Well Now I am thinking that I need to do my tri this year.. Ok so not just a Tri but a half Ironman.. I think I am going to try and train for a full but run a half. I joined the YMCA .. One because it is close and to because it is cheaper than the other health club that I was at. I went online and found the Beginner Triathlete site that has plans as well as support. I still use my TraingPeaks but for this race I feel this will give me the most help. If you are thinking about a tri then I would start here.
I have most of my stuff that I need and with all the running that I need to do what the hell why not. I can only fail if I do not try. Besides I am tired of being tired .. I need to loose some of this weight that I keep bitching about but do noting to get it gone..I looked and found a race in MD that is close and the full and 1/2 Ironman distance. ChesapeakeMan Endurance Festival. This one looks like a real kick in the butt kinda race.. All I need to do is take inventory of my old tri stuff figure out what I need and make it all happen. I mean the race is in Sep 2013 so I have time.. Not much but some time to make this happen.
I saw this and it make you think I want that..
and this one I will do that
