When was the last time you pushed yourself?
I mean hard. Barely moving, muscles aching, definitely not getting out of bed easily in the morning.
Today, I pushed myself REALLY hard. I've never done a day like today.
I ran 13 miles.
I swam 1.2 miles.
I cycled 56 miles.
This is a half-IRONMAN, if you're wondering. I'm training for a full IRONMAN at the end of September.
You know what's weird? Before I decided to do this, the hardest day I ever had was a half-marathon. Oh, and I hiked 22 miles in a day once. Both of these days are easy compared to today.
The biggest difference I made was this: I changed my mind.
When's the last time you changed your mind and accomplished great things?
More on this later!
