DO IT NOW!

The past few weeks have been busy, stressful, full of decisions, and overall very emotional. After many tears, long talks, and doubting myself I have come to the realization that I am exactly where I should and want to be. I have finally learned how to put myself and my happiness first, something that has taken me 27 years to build up the courage to do, no matter how scary it may be. This is just the beginning, but I now know what I want in my life. Now comes the hard part of making that happen =)

One of the Lululemon (for those of you that don't know what Lulu is...it is my favorite yoga clothing store) manifestos is:

The world is changing at such a rapid rate that waiting to implement changes will leave you 2 steps behind. DO IT NOW, DO IT NOW, DO IT NOW!

I see that manifesto on my water bottle everyday, and it's inspiring. I believe it and I am running with it. We so often do that same thing everyday because it is comfortable, not necessarily something that makes us happy or fulfills us. I am so lucky to have found a few passions in my life. No longer do I have the excuses of I don't have enough time or I'm not good enough, I am going with it.

My training plans have changed a bit for the next year. I will still be training for the same races, but my training will pan out a bit different. I will be focusing on power for the shorter courses, hopefully placing in my AG in a local race this year which will help me get into the elite waves as time goes on. Steelhead is still my "A" race of the year, and the training I am doing now will only help me do well there.

I am starting to teach a lot more yoga classes which I am so excited about. I will be teaching a few classes a week at Yoga-360 in Frankfort and Sunshine in Orland Park. I will also be teaching at Yogatala in Lockport soon, we are still working out the days/times. You can now understand why my Tri training has changed up a bit =)

Believing in myself with no regrets =)
