Hey! It’s 02:02 AM you need to get up and out of bed! WAKE UP! It’s time to go and workout!

…..but I don’t want to, I’m tired!

Like the video “Training Excuses” I too can come up with, oh, a few dozen or so, not so good, excuses on why I should just hit the snooze button and go back to bed.

Have no fear! Excuse Terminator is here!

Don’t you wish it was that easy. Well, its not like someone has a gun to your head, do they?

There were 2207 people who started the Ironman Wisconsin race last year, and there were 2207 different reasons why each made the decision to start the Journey to Ironman.

For the 2200+ that signed up this year, they each have their reason. It is for those reasons that we get up early, or stay up late, or skip watching our favorite TV show, or get that run in at lunch time, or not hang out as late with the guys/gals on Friday night. And for most, we knew that the decision to start the journey had consequences and that it would require a complete commitment. Because without that level of dedication, the goal would not be met, our reason would be unjustified. For us, the mantra is evolving from, “I think I can”, to “I can do this”, to “I must do this”. We know that this journey will push us to our limits, limits that have been self-imposed or imposed by others, and we will learn that there really are no limits to what can be achieved. It will be this lesson, above all others we learn along the way, that will redefine who we are, who we can be, and what we will accomplish.
