This past weekend I completed my first triathlon ever. This time one year ago, I could barely run a mile. Then my friend (one of the girls who lived on my floor) challenged me to run a half marathon with her. It took a few weeks, but she convinced me. This then opened the door to several of my guy friends successfully getting me to join the triathlon team. My time this weekend was just under an hour and 20 minutes for a sprint distance tri.
This is only one example of the power of dreaming big. Everyone has their own story, their own goal they reached, their own dream accomplished. Greatist.com does a great job outlining the importance of dreaming big and reaching your goals - and keep going after that!
My next "athletic" dream? Beat my half marathon and sprint tri finish times, and finish an Olympic distance tri. It feels like a long way off, but you know what they say about shooting for the stars.
