I try to plan a competitive event for each spring/summer and spend the winter/spring training. I can motivate myself better when I know I have an event coming up. Last year I trained for and did an off-road tri, the year before I trained and did tough mudder and speedgoat 50k.
This winter, I'm training for a marathon. I want to also do a 50+ mile adventure race at the end of May....5-6 miles running, 5-7 kayaking, 15-18 mountain bike, 3 miles of orienteering, then another 15 miles of mountain biking, and some rappelling. Gonna have to hit the biking hard after the marathon.
If I don't stay active, I'll get fat and lazy fast, cause I like to eat!!!
I really don't even like running much.............
