Are we ever really in control? Do we really think things will be better tomorrow? Finding a good swim, bike, run groove starts with small steps right now.

Today, we look at being a more productive person and embracing discipline for our journey.We really can change who we are, but we have to change our thinking and our habits to get there.

Just because your Garmin doesn’t record something doesn’t mean it’s not valuable. Take building good habits seriously. Even if it’s only 10 minutes a day. That’s 60 hours a year and a ton of good momentum.

We’re all weak in some ways, but we’re all strong enough to be mindful of our weaknesses and let them drift away. It’s easy to fall back to the familiar, but if you really want to become someone different, mix things up in your life and find the strength to know the pain of change is just . . . you growing.

Slow down, be mindful, relax. Be the best you and let triathlon be a powerful supplement.
