Are you lazy? Do you ever want to do something amazing? Do you never have the motivation? If any of those things relate to you, then this is the place for you.
All the incredible things I've done have been last minute impulsive decisions. Sometimes the best way to get off your ass it to commit to something crazy and have no choice but to start working towards it. It all started for me two years ago when I signed up for a miniature triathlon. I hadn't swum since elementary school and I had only one month to prepare. I ended up doing horribly, but I did finish! Isn't that amazing? I did a triathlon! How many of you can say you've done one of those? (probably a lot of you)
Ever since then, I've been making impulsive decisions to get off my ass and do something crazy. Last summer I agreed to do a mountain bike trip from Canada to Mexico with only a few months to prepare, and, in the Fall, I signed up for a cross country race series. In 5 weeks, I ended up moving from the bottom of my age group, to bottom 6th (out of 30).
My point (however badly made) is that if you have an opportunity to do something, you should do it. No matter how unprepared you feel. You're only going to break your mental barriers and grow stronger, and I'm going to show you that through my adventures.
