Peaks and valleys, ebbs and flows, challenges, joys, hardships and successes. It is life and it is training. Perhaps the best metaphor for training is life itself, and that is why I apply the lessons I learn in my life to my training.
Each year I come up with a word that will help guide me in my life and in my training. One word. One simple word that can encompass so much. And this year I challenge you to come up with a single word to help to guide you in your life and your training. Put that word on a post-it note. Write the word in your planner. Look it up in the dictionary and define it. Live it.
I challenge you to find a word that will inspire you. A word that you can remember when those 1/2 mile repeats seem to be just too hard, or when life gets so busy that you forget to live. A simple word that will become your life-philosophy.
Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Go
Accomplish
Peace
Risk
Joy
Believe
Embrace
Be
Accept
Dream
Reinvent
Change
Balance
Commit
Trust
Happiness
I want to hear your ideas! Please do share by replying to this post.

Nice idea. OK, even though it is already listed, my word for the year will be "Believe."
TRUST will have to be mine. TRUST that I can and I will.

ok i picked two words. Balance and Push. I know I need to work on the Balances of life. I also want to Push myself to all I can.
With memories of Patriot, my word is...persevere.
My word is commit.
Control
Yes I know very Type A of me.
Mine will be JOY and PEACE. How JOYous to be able to swim bike run. When the children get noisy and the home becomes chaotic...PEACE.
Grandison - I really liked what you said yesterday about living in the moment and enjoying the "right now".
