The Next Step

April 16, 2010 By Joel Runyon 1 Comment

A funny thing happened this week.  I ran my triathlon saturday, blogged about it & then nothing…

Sunday I didn’t do anything.  .  Sure it’s an accomplishment of some sorts, but I have this annoying tendency to use the small accomplishments I have to blind myself to my overarching goal.

I get satisfied with the unremarkable & settle for the mundane.

That’s not okay.

Without goals & deadlines, I don’t press on towards goals as much as I would like & I tend to stagnate.

Stagnation sucks.

So here’s the deal.  I’m going to make the following moves immediately:

  1. I’m going to have one roundup a week [probably saturdays] on what I’ve actually done to move forward to triathlons.  To keep me on course & accountable.  If you don’t want to hear about it, don’t read on saturdays.
  2. I’m immediately researching & registering for a sprint-distance triathlon.  I need to have an immediate goal I’m going after. As soon as I’ve registered. I’ll post it.
  3. I’m going to try to find a triathlon club in Indy.  If you know of one, let me know.  I’m going to need some extra help along the way.

What helps you take that next step & keep on moving towards the impossible?
