Outside of work, keeping fit is extremely important to me. I have already signed up for a 5k, a half marathon, two sprint triathlons and a tower race (gulp!) this year. But sometimes I don't feel like working out or going for a run because I'm tired or have some work that I haven't yet done. How do keep up the motivation to exercise around all the other stuff you have going on? Is it a case of just making it routine? Or are there other things you rely on? Or is it just second nature to you?

Just about the only thing I've never skipped is my shower after work, but that's mostly because by the time I get home, I can't stand the smell of myself. :)

My opinion is that definately it is just making it routine..

I have my third sprint, first open swim in less than two weeks... nervous!! My training has definitely deteriorated due to work. Oh well, I'm still excited! Nothing like wearing a pair of tri shorts super early in the morning, right?

They do help you float, but I felt like I could hardly move my arms. The tradeoff wasn't worth it for me. I considered a sleeveless one, but because of long-term side effects from chemo, I'm not supposed to be in the sun without sunscreen on (or other protection), so I just do the whole dang race in Skins.

I have one planned so far (the same one I started with last year), but I'd like to do two or three. I ended up doing two last year. I need to seek some out in the area where the water will be warm enough to swim without a wetsuit but the air temp won't kill me. I handle heat pretty well, but I do have my limits... I have talked a few friends/coworkers into doing the Tempe Danskin SheRox with me this year :)

I think I like colder water and wetsuits a bit more than coffee like water... At least the wetsuit helps you float.

Hey Heather,
Thanks for creating the group. I'd love to hear a bit more about other Brazen Triathletes. Congrats on your first sprint. Glad to hear you're happy at the Sprint level, so many people feel an urge to start getting more serious and completing longer distance. Do you have any tris planned this year?

Did my first sprint tri in May and I'm hooked. Don't want to do anything longer, but these things are addictive!
