Wow, has it really been almost 2 months since I last wrote!? Thats crazy. I apologize for the lack of updates recently, but the holiday season was a busy one for me and my family. I had also delayed writing, because I had been trying to think of a new name for my blog, as I felt that "My Quest for Kona" was to narrow of a title.
Well, with a bit of help from some friends, I was finally able to come up with "Gotta Strive." I liked it, because it captures a big part of who I am (and its got "tri" right in the middle :-) I can't imagine living without having goals to pursue and pushing myself to my best. There is just something in me that wants to get out there, give my best and see what I can become. I love the process of working towards something and seeing the change it can bring. Do I still want to get to Kona? I sure do, but that can't be the main focus. There are many things that I can't control that could affect that becoming a reality. If I do make it there it will only be because I focused on the important things each day that I can control (and of course some good 'race day' execution and fortune). In the meantime, I must focus on what I can control - executing the workouts every day, eating well, resting well and maintaing that attitude to get the workouts done. Its pretty simple really - I gotta strive.
It is my hope that with the new name, people who come across this page will be able to connect better with my writings, even if they don't know what Kona is all about, or even triathlon for that matter. That being said, if you visit often, you'll get to know what its all about, because its what I love to do!
Gotta Strive,
Jon
