Well, who's been a slack tart then!
What's motivating me today? The great bunch of people I work with!
We had a training brick at our place yesterday - 1km run/10km ride/2km run - with the eight of us who are doing the duathlon together in TWO WEEKS (!!!!!). Then we had a BBQ brunch, along with the various partners, kids, dogs, etc.
I looked around at this diverse group of people and just found it completely motivating. The duathletes range from 32 to 50 in age, come from all walks of life and have varying sports backgrounds from former NZ representatives (women's cricket) to never having done an event in their lives.
And here we all are, with a common goal. Two of them are now talking about going on to do a marathon in the next 18 months, one is trying to get back the fitness he's lost in the 10 years since giving up competitive sport, one is so fit he does this sort of thing for a blast - and we're all in this together, helping, advising, competing a little, and having some really great fun along the way.
It's been a neat way to get my groove on again.

Those people sound fantastic and very motivating.
Roll on the Duathlon .....!!!!
In your case it is a big goal, but even to a smaller extent a common goal is a great motivation!!!
Not long now!
Sounds like a great bunch you have there. Hope you all do very well.
