Goals...

I was thinking about how much my plans have changed, for the better, in the last few weeks. Some of the plans maybe far fetched and unreachable but without goals, nothing gets accomplished.
I wanted to study in Greece in the fall of 2009, but i also want to race Ironman Arizona in November of that same year. Doing Ironman is much more important to me. That is the first change. In order to do reach that goal i want to run a marathon, the Rock N Roll marathon in phoenix in January. Doing that requires that i not race a couple triathlons in September and December. There is the second change.
The third goal i have is probably the most far fetched idea. I have caught the olympic bug and want to try and qualify for the 2016 olympics. The problem with this idea, is the time it is going to take to train for the olympics. It is a full time job and i need a coach to help me train. Coaches are explensive things. And i have to stay i don't have the best motivation. Everyone i have talked to think that i have a chance of qualifying and i think that i do if i can put the effort in.
The only thing that i can do know is see how things unfold along the next few years.
