You’ll have to pardon me if this post is a little more activity oriented and a little less psychological than usual… but this Wednesday we embark on our 51.5km journey of endurance to cap off our training program. We’ll likely find ourselves taking a couple days to recover and recuperate before digging in on what’s next.
I’ve written a bit about connection to environment and I’ve centered the latest video installment around that subject. All the visuals show scenes from my corner of the world – my neighborhood – my environment.
Here’s the new video:
We’ll be continuing along with the environmental relationship focus through the summer months, and focusing on trail running, but in conjunction with more weight training and swimming and biking. As much as I’d like to adjust my focus to trail running and completely lose myself in nature, I do have hours to keep and thus must have a regimented training program through the week. There’s a balance to be found and I’ll talk about that more in depth as the training program gets posted. It’s seeing it’s finishing touches now.
Lu and I have arranged to embark on another heavy long-term goal that we aim to train for through the next 14 months that we’ll get into later – and growing our team, which is super exciting. We’ll certainly take on some smaller challenges along the way, some as a means to prepare for the big event next summer, and some just because they’re new experiences.
If you’ve been following along on this journey so far, it’s certainly appreciated and I hope you continue to do so. It’s been a real blast thus far, and an amazing journey of self discovery.
But first – this triathlon is happening on Wednesday.
Truthfully, it’s more of a victory lap that caps off a heavy training program than a challenge.
We’re excited to celebrate this physical milestone in conjunction with my 40th birthday milestone.
