Hi Ladies!

How is everyone?  WHERE is everyone?  If you are anything like me, you may be experiencing a huge burn-out.  I worked my buns off during January and February, then I went on vacation the first weekend of March and now I am DONE.  I think I am burned out.

I am doing my first triathalon (sprint) in June and I have lost all motivation.  Judging by the posts on our group, I do not think I am alone.  Complaints, disapointments, adivice....HELP??!!!!

Thanks Lora...Let's get modivated!   I love this group!!!

That's my problem exactly. I stayed on course, did my workouts, was getting stronger and then poof...I got a bladder infection and even after I healed up I can't seem to get back into the groove.
Can someone inspire, or at least goose me? I don't want to go back to being a couch potato...again...I was growing sprouts the last time...

I'm still working....I got a 12 mile run in today....it's just been crazy busy around here...but I like it that way. 

Pat just remember how great you felt before you got sidelined!  You may not feel like doing anything but I can promise once you make yourself get up and go you will feel soooo good!!  So get out there tomorrow and do something...then let me know how you feel afterward!  You will feel great about doing it!!!  YOU GO GIRL!!!!  YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!

And everyone else that needs it....GO GO GO!!!  YOU CAN...YOU WILL!!!!!!

Way to get out there early! Doesn't it feel great? 

AND girls, Amy is totally right - you can do it!  Try to get out there for 1/2 hour tomorrow - run, bike, swim, walk, cartwheels...whatever...if you have been having trouble with motivation, it might remind you how good it feels to get out there.

Cheers,
Mandy

You guys are ROCKING!

I am sooooo, soooooooo sorry I haven't been on for a while. I thought changing my hours at work would be beneficial. Turns out I'm just working more hours.

So, who ended up completely the Ironman challenge? I came just...this...close. Sigh.

Don't worry, Lora...we understand.  Life is busy!!!!

Anyway, here are my February totals.  Not sure what our exact ironman dates were....

Swim: 1.3 miles
Bike: 142 miles
Ran: 16.8 miles
(Walked about 20 miles)

I think I came pretty close....

I am sorry too!! I have been sooo busy trying very hard to down size this house to move sometime this year out of the cold climate!! So I will be back to normal hopeful soon!! Again I am sorry!!

Hey, ya'll, I just wanted to give you a head's up so you don't freak out. Any day now, you'll see a new forum for the April or summer mentor program show up here on BT.

Though our program is ending, I'd still like to encourage everyone to join another group to keep you motivated through the remainder of the year. I'm actually going to go on hiatus for a while, as I think at this new point in my life I wouldn't be in a position to lead another group and do it right.

A lot of forums still stay active and we can, too, if you'd like, but I'd recommend still joining an active group, too.

Please drop me a PM if you have any questions.

Lotsa love...
Lora
