It is surprisingly a better day once you try to remove the negatives and confront the negatives head on.  Or it may be the fact the negatives to the day are there or are absent in that day.  Lately as I am trying to get back on track physically, I noticed it is harder to do if you are not mentally and emotionally ready for physical balance.
    I am not sure if it is just me or the time of year but, the negatives seem to outweigh the positives.  I will try to continue to balance the -'s with the positives.
      How big should a goal be, reachable or just outside the norms of reachable?  I have accomplished 6 -13.1  races.  Numerous triathlons 12+  and a 70.3.  My original goal was a full Ironman in Hawaii.....  That has not happened as I have not won a slot in the lottery.
Would a full ironman not at a M-dot branded event have the same prestige?

Still formulating my goal. ........???!
