Motivation

I find myself in a strange place. I am keen to start training but am uncertain that my body is ready. At the same time having no plan in place leaves me unfocused. 2 years ago after my first Ironman I felt like I'd fallen off a cliff. I don't feel like that now but getting motivated to start with no plan isn't easy. The other difference this time is I have three goals in place. 18th August is a half ironman, in January I have the Tough Guy Challenge and in April the Marathon des Sables (just under 300 days away). But I have just booked a meeting on Wednesday night with an MDS veteran and am hoping he will help me with my training - I'm excited already as this is new territory to me. Can't wait - lots to learn!
