Thankfully, my lack of posting does not mean a lack of consistency in other areas of my life! Unfortunately I tend to do this, I will start up a journal, diary, photo journal etc and will update only very sporadically!
I'm still endeavouring to push myself, meet my goals and really find my own stride this year. I attended a PD event on Friday just gone and it was so inspiring. The presenter had an extensive background in research and clinical practice and had contributed so much to the world of Speech Pathology and I just saw there thinking 'I will never be standing in her position down the track of my career!'. But then I thought, why not?! As a new graduate it can be daunting when you're mixing with uber successful professionals that have been in the game for longer than I've been alive! But I need to find an area that I am passionate about that will challenge, inspire and push me to be the clinician that I want to be.
I have a new, realistic and very very healthy goal of completing my first triathlon (and will be officially able to call myself a 'triathlete'!!) in November of this year. Hence, amping up the training accordingly. I am yet to conquer my fear of being seen in public in a teensy bathing suit that still frames my deliciously chunky legs and clings to my body post-workout! So the swim training has not yet commenced, but I promise that it will and I'm actually quite excited about training for that leg. When I was at school, I was a decent swimmer and so I'm looking forward to seeing quick progress (which apparently happens in swim training, the gains are fast and you notice little differences everyday I've been told). Since my previous post I have challenged myself and completed a (semi-competitive) 30km bike ride. Even better still, I did a P.B. and finished the ride in just over 1hr. I'm loving riding and running, although I would really like to push myself and get some longer distance runs under my belt!
Feeling good, feeling strong and feeling more and more like I'm becoming my best self each day :-)
