I am currently going through something like that myself. The picture is from Ironman Texas and is a reminder to me that goals are good and accomplishing them is even better! But, what do I do after working so hard for six years in triathlon, working towards an Ironman, and then finishing the race? I have set new goals! The next challenge is to finish a 70.3 Ironman in under 5:30:00. My personal record is currently 5:42:45. Another challenge is to finish a 50 mile mountain bike race. Then finish a 50 mile run race.
Ultimately, whatever you are trying to accomplish, you have to ask yourself after you finish it, "What's next?" For those of you who have just gotten back into fitness and have worked to drop your pant size something lower, once you get there, maintain it! Keep working on a healthier you! The best part of leading a healthier lifestyle, along with living longer, is living better. It's addictive and you want that feeling of being able to do what you want to do while also feeling great!
So, if you find yourself wondering, "What's next?" look to go beyond what you have already accomplished. You might find that accomplishing your previous goals are just the beginning!
