My Motivation

Abby & Aidan. 

My motivation. 

My reason to be healthy. 

Just recently I joined the Mullica Hill Women's Tri Club. Never in a million years would I have thought I would join a tri club let alone sign up for two OPEN WATER swims!!! Nor did I ever think I would run a 5k race, but I proved myself wrong two years ago this month. 

This spring and summer is going to be filled with many firsts for me. First time swimming laps in a pool. First time swimming in a lake. First time swimming in the ocean (I don't even do this on vacation!). First time swimming in a race. First time riding a road bike. First time going on group bike rides. First time racing on a bike. First time running after I have done a swim and a bike ride right before. And those are just the beginning!!! 

I want to do this for my kids. I want to be healthy for them. I want more energy, more confidence, and to show them that if you put your mind to it and your heart into it, you can do it. 

I want to be brave for my kids. I want to show them that even though they may be scared to do something they should at least try. And I'm hoping with the support of my family, friends, and new friends in the club, I'll be able to face some fears and complete a triathalon or two this year.
