As we get closer and closer to 2016 the need to start thinking about goals for the new year increases. And I am sure that most of us have been toying with different ideas that could form the fabric of our annual commitments. I have been thinking about getting back to the Ironman triathlon race commitment. It is a big commitment especially balancing the need to do a lot of biking, running and swimming while on the road. And so before making the big commitment to an Ironman race for 2016, I thought it would be good to take a day and do a swim, a ride and a run. And that is what I did today. Long distances in each discipline worked and I even felt good with the swim (my nemesis). And so today was the first big step towards signing up for an Ironman in 2016. The next step is to build a plan and then line up the resources that are needed to make the training possible. And so with a test day, a plan and resources it will be easy to commit and then enjoy the process and the activities. 2016 here I come!

Loving life, when I make sure I am ready for the next challenge
