Good for you for sticking it out. I found watching my brother-in-law do marathons then Ironman triathlons inspiring. I also saw all the different types of people who were doing it. I thought to myself, "if they can do it, I can do it." I'll never do an Ironman (those people are crazy), but I do use the thought as a mantra when doing events (sprint triathlons or 5K charity runs are my current thing). I think, "I do this because I can. Some people can't. I want to always be able to do this, so I am." As 40 looms next year, I am glad to be active, and it does serve as a motivator--despite how easy it is to skip a day or two. Keep moving!
