Training for....LIFE!

A lot of people ask me what I'm training for...and the truth is that I'm training my body so that one day I can RUN with my grandkids in the park, DANCE with my kids at their weddings, CLIMB a mountain with my husband when we go on a retirement adventure, SWIM across the lake at the family cottage (when we someday get one!), BIKE along a serene road in wine country, WALK with a friend who needs to just talk out something when life throws a curve ball, SKI with a new friend who has never experienced the thrill...and the list goes on!

So, every week, when I choose what activities I want to challenge my body with, I think of this. Then I throw in the odd short term goal, like my intention to do a Sprint Distance Triathlon next summer (uping it from the Try-a-Tri distance this year) and I've got enough motivation to get moving each and every day. If you need a little help with your goal setting...check out Lululemon's Goaltender site which is a terrific, free tool to get you started and help you stay on track.

WE ARE ALL ATHLETES!!
What are you going to do today to get your body moving? Commit and DO IT!
Cheers
