I’m still riding high after finishing my first triathlon! I am totally hooked and it got me thinking.

As I was setting up the day of the race I took extra time to look at those around me. They were all shapes and sizes, men, women, and the youngest participant was 12.

This got me thinking why aren’t more people trying new things everyday?

My best guess … Fear.

I know fear can be an enormous thing to overcome. But what if you started today?

What if you just did something different than normal today?

What if you just made a small adjustment in your routine today?

What if you decided to try the salad instead of the same old sandwich?

What if you left a little bit on your plate instead of eating way past full?

What if you parked further and walked in?

What if you ran?

What if you signed up for that race?

Or told your best friend you were going to become more healthy … and mean it?

The destinations are endless and you are the driver.

Try something new today.
