Life Lately

June 10, 2017 3 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Life unfolds on instagram.  There’s no secret there but sometimes it’s easier to communicate here.

Life lately is a combination of circumstances and situations.

Athletically, I’m in the classic post-goal cycle.  I wouldn’t say I’m depressed but there’s definitely less “fire” inside.  I’ve been thinking about new goals and none have triggered a desire like ironman did.  I talked about goals a few posts ago (see it here).  What is it with us Type As?  Why do we always have to be trying to attain something?  I feel like I’ve got a little bit of:

Goal fatigue

I have a definite need to find a new goal but right now I’m kind of half-assing my way through Junes workouts.

I’m also in a weird spot with blogging, which feels like its all the time. I know I don’t post every day.  Those days are gone.

–>I’m past trying to give you workouts and crazy tips and tricks.  If you have questions, ask. If there’s one thing I like to think of myself as it’s accessible.

–>I’m past saying yes to every brand proposal that comes my way.  This isn’t a monetary effort for me.  I do it out of love and passion so what I post about I have a genuine interest in or I think you will.

When I blog, know that it’s because I want to and I have something to say.  So if you haven’t subscribed to get my latest posts directly to your inbox, do it.  I promise I won’t spam you.  🙂  I don’t blog enough to do that.

I just need some direction.  I’m craving it.  I need someone to tell me what to do.  I need something inspiring to chase.  I need an opportunity I can’t refuse OR I just need to accept where I’m at right now.  Easier said than done.

AND I’m rambling with no real point to this post except to say I feel lost right now…

    I sort of know where you are coming from. Of course, I have no desire to do Ironman, mostly because I can barely swim. About the only goal I really set for myself is increasing mileage on my bike each year. Riding with the local cycling club has really helped me this year. For one, I am riding more often than I have in past years. For two, I am finding that I am a lot stronger than I realized riding by myself! Anyway, keep your head up! You will get through this funk or whatever you want to call it. God bless you on the journey to the next big thing!!

    Katie, I am TOTALLY in the same spot as you! I trained hard for basically the last 18 mos and crushed all kinds of goals, and promised myself (and my husband) that I was done “training.” But now I don’t want to lose all the fitness I gained, and also don’t want to find another big scary goal to attain and fret about until I do. I just want to maintain a level of fitness and be able to race here and there when something catches my eye. Ugh…..stay strong sister you will figure it out!
