Start crossing 'em off

Everyone has a bucket list, whether that's what they call it or not. There are things that everyone would like to accomplish/experience at some point in their life, and I am no exception. I even have some things on my list that I don't actually want to DO, but simply SAY that I've done them- running a marathon and climbing everest to name a couple. I'd do them, but I don't want to put in the time and money necessary to do them successfully and safely. Other things on my list are doable, but I've thought that I had to be more _________ (in shape, weigh less, have more moeny, etc.) before I can do even think about doing it. One of those things is run a triathlon, at least a small one- not the intense Iron Man ones that include running a marathon at the end. I'd like to do one, but I'm not in shape. I need to lose weight. Then one day I decided that my thinking was all wrong. If I want to do a triathlon, I just need to do a triathlon. Pick a date and start training. As long as the time frame is realistic and I'm committed to eating right and following a training schedule, what am I waiting for? So- I'm going to do a triathlon. It's called the Xterra and its on August 29. I decided that I needed to have one that wasn't too far off, like next summer, because then I wouldn't take it seriously now. I think my goal is doable. I don't care about winning, I just want to finish. 1/2 mile swimming, 12 miles biking, and 4.8 miles running. I CAN DO IT! 

Is there something you want to do but have been putting off until you are/have more of something? Stop waiting and just start doing it. 

Believe It.

Deserve It.

Expect It.

Prove It.
