I'm Back
After almost 2 years off, I'm back. I cannot say that I'm in a big gear and that my triathloning plan include an IM this year. I must say that I believe that Im is out of my league for 2 years more. But as the saying goes, we must follow our dreams even when they seem out of reach.
In a hindsight I must say that many times in my life I have reached a goal I couldn't even think I would someday conquer and moreover, the universe just made it happen not by effort but by pure desire. So here follows the plan:
1. 2009 - marathon training and yoga
2. 2010 - back to swimming
3. 2011 - back to cycling and triathlon
4. 2012 - Iroman
I just wanted to write it down and let it be public so I couldn't go on acting wussy and spend my days under the duvet, building a hefty pile of excuses to what just happen to be me bumming around instead of hitting the road and trainning.
I have heard lots of good explanations from anyone you can imagine and at the end I just figured out that even the best excuse can hide the ultimate truth: or you do or you don't do. Period. You can explain but the fact is, you weren't there, you didn't reach the goal, you haven't done what you wanted...
Well, under this light waking up in the middle of the night to follow my running schedule seems easier than, let me say, end ones life with no dream conquered.
