What Gets You Out of Bed?
Things have gotten a bit quiet around here as of late so I decided to use the time to start cleaning up my office. This is a pretty big task since my office seems to be a dumping ground for left over props and other assorted things from shoots. Some of these things get put to good use (see below) and some just end up in a pile gathering dust.
While I was cleaning up, I discovered my old Ironman Switzerland Inspiration Board from 2007. It was a bulletin board I hung in my office with a few bits of inspiration for my 10 month journey to the start line. On it, I found this list. I had to laugh when I read it because almost everything on here is still somewhat applicable (with the exception of #8, damn aging metabolism). The list has definitely grown since I wrote this but I can safely say that these are still many of the things that get me out of bed and keep me motivated to stay active.

I love the idea of an inspiration board! And yeah - the guys in spandex - it would be enough for me ;-).
And camaraderie and friendship - I never expected so much of that, and I love it.
Yeah the men in spandex get me pretty much every time. I can't tell you the number of times I've ducked behind a dude during a race, usually for shelter from the wind, and just sat back and admired the view. Geez...that sounds more than a little lecherous. Ha. Oh well.
This makes me want to make a motivation board! And possibly do an ironman because runner dudes don't wear enough spandex. Short shorts are a go though.:)
I'm thinking I am going to resurrect the motivation board for next year. I'm setting myself some tough goals so I may need that extra kick in the pants.
Ha ha ha...it's true, most runner dudes don't wear enough spandex!!! I don't mind the short shorts, as long as the dude wearing them can pull them off. :)
