There are days when I find myself rather lazy in starting out training. I just go for it and start with a long walk outdoors. After a while I get warmed up and start running. There is one advantage training outdoors, Since I do cycling I usually go to where there are beautiful landscapes to keep me motivated. Are you interested in entrepreneurship? You might want to try looking into the Young Entrepreneur Society from the www.YoungEntrepreneurSociety.com. It is a great resource for entrepreneurs.

Awesome blog, Son – except now I’ve just spent 20 min watching YouTube clips!! I know you’ve seen this one, but it’s always worth watching again. Short and sweet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3S0wu4Zbfk&feature=related

PS – love Laura’s post too! …feel strong and defy expectations – your own expectations and others’…

Hmmm, motivation. I just read a tri book that said to come up with 50-100 reasons. Here’s the start of my list:
- to feel strong, – to get outside, – to see just how far I can push it, – to connect with others, -being an example for my daughter, – that adrenaline rush as you finish, – that second wind that you never see coming, -disregarding limits (real and imaginary), – people yelling with cowbells, – defying expectations………

Okay, I totally get pumped up when I go to YouTube and type in “Ironman Triathlon”. I can watch clips there all day and before I know it I am out the door for a workout.

Clips like this:
