For months now I have been telling myself that I need to blog, need to catch up on all the posts on BT (Beginner Triathlete), need to post in the mentor group, need to get a training plan, need, need, need! Of course none of that has happened... until today. My motivation has been hiding out somewhere for months and I just haven't been able to find it. But you know what, I am not alone! I went back a couple of weeks to read some of the blogs that I follow, only to find out that motivation has been a struggle for many. I am not going to analyze it to death, just enjoy the sigh of relief knowing that it isn't "just me". I know I need to have more balance in my life. My work is draining as I am constantly giving to others. I have other people who need and want from me. I have had unexpected challenges that have added stress. It just piles up.
I feel good writing this blog post. I don't have a lot to say but I am glad to be back in touch and reading my fellow bloggers posts makes me feel connected again.
Below are a few pics of highlights and low lights of my year so far and of what is to come.
It is good to be back.
