So what's next?

It's now 4 weeks since I returned from having completed the MdS and the most common question is "what's next?"  I've given that a lot of thought as I've enjoyed the rest, no training, plenty of food and a few too many beers!  I deliberately hadn't planned anything in advance as I wanted my total focus to be on MdS.
I've reflected on my journey to date and have decided on a plan for the rest of the year.  But first some background.  Before starting this journey I practised karate for 11 years.  The club was called Shoshin which stands for "beginners mind" and after receiving my black belt my Sensei explained to me to take a Shoshin approach to my learning.  He said "in the mind of the beginner there are many possibilities, in the mind of the expert there are few".  He repeated the process twice more after further gradings and I am going to apply the same process to my journey.
So yesterday I went on a Chi running course so that I can become a more effecient runner.  This means taking a step back and slowing down.  I am organising a swim coach to help me become a better swimmer so I have more energy when I get out the water to complete the triahlon.  Improving my form will give me greater purpose in my training and next year I intend to compete in a series of triathlons.
As for another big adventure, there are so many out there in the world but I'm in now rush.  Right now it's about getting fitter and better with a "beginners mind"!  I'll keep posting my blogs on a weekly rather than daily basis.  Keep in touch and thanks for your continued support.
