Got no Motivation? 

Siobhán's Got the Answer...

“On Sunday, I went for a cycle with my dad. He is in training for the Ring of Kerry cycle, which I had signed up to a while back. However, I hadn't any training done for it, so I was convinced up until I started this operation transportation that I wouldn’t do it.


I was kicking myself for not getting up and going, but had no motivation to train. Now I’m inspired again, and I’m going to chance it, see how far I get…

Today we cycled from Millstreet back to Killarney; we stopped for a coffee and a sandwich and continued on.  

In the end, we covered 60km in total…

And I was delighted after it, but I do now have a very sore bum, and am wondering how I will triple that cycle in two week’s time.

Still, saying that when I started this operation transportation challenge I struggled with 10km and look at me today: 60km.. “


 
In between these words are “a few pics of today and also one or two of the ring of Kerry which I completed two years ago (I had months of training done two years ago for it, so I am very apprehensive this time.)

 But I will go as far as I can, and might even cross the finish line, thanks to operation transportation: I am going to attempt it.”

Go Siobhán!!

Best of luck with the 180km cycle. Do let us know how far you get on the Ring of Kerry trek and send on a  few photos…

Also... if anyone else is lacking motivation to undertake a seemingly impossible challenge just do something similar but really easy and see how you feel. Remeber Siobhán only commmitted to cycling for 10 minutes each day!

If that doesn't work- go for a refreshing cycle. When you return with the rush of endorphins and adrenalin pumping through your veins, you may find that the mammoth tasks seem more manageable!
