I’ve been really struggling with motivation as of late.\u00a0 I’m going through the motions of training, but I’m just not feeling it.\u00a0 I think that once I get through my first triathlon of the season, that will change.\u00a0 Once I remember how awesome that feels, I’ll be excited to get moving again.<\/p>\n

But I’m also looking into working with a coach. Not in person, just remotely.\u00a0 But I could use someone to tell me what to do and berate me when I don’t do it and encourage me when I’m feeling low.\u00a0 I think that part of my problem right now is that I don’t have confidence in my training plan.\u00a0 Sure, it’s a good plan, but I’m not sure it’s right for me.\u00a0 Someone who will create a fluid training plan will be a definite help.\u00a0 Plus if I’m paying for it, I’m more likely to stick to it, right?<\/p>\n

In other news, tomorrow is my 1500m Open Water Swim.\u00a0 I’m nervous and excited.\u00a0 It’s 2 750m loops, which will be a good way to break it up in my mind.\u00a0 I know I can cover the distance with no trouble.\u00a0 The goal is just to stay out of my head.\u00a0 I can do it.\u00a0 Just keep swimming.\u00a0 Just keep swimming.\u00a0 Maybe I should watch Finding Nemo tonight as motivation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
