I'm looking for my next goal having just completed my first half marathon last weekend.
Marathon I hear you say? Well, tbh, no, no yet. Firstly, it's coming round to summer here in Australia. Too friggin' hot, lol. But also, with 3 young kids, the time needed to commit to marathon training is not something I have right now. I feel like giving running a break.... I won't stop completely, but I'm bored and I need to do something else for a bit. The question is, what??
I am a gym member, I do classes, the odd bit of swimming, walking and home DVDs. I'm pretty fit, my half marathon time was 2 hours. I don't have a bike.
Any random ideas as to what I can aim for now? I tend to use fitness goals as my way of staying on track with my diet, now that I'm maintaining. I need a goal in order to get my butt in gear every day! Thanks all :-)

That was my thought as well. Get an inexpensive used bike, see if you like biking, and train for a sprint tri. Congrats on your half marathon accomplishment!0 -
triathlon was my first though too... but I'm a little biased, so...0
