\"ironman\"<\/a>Today I completed the Indoor Ironman, here on campus.\u00a0 As it came to an end I thought to myself, will I continue to push myself as much as I did this past month?\u00a0 Will you?\u00a0 Then I thought, why wouldn\u2019t I.\u00a0 This past month I had never been so dedicated to my fitness and health.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know if it was the Ironman or with spring break, but either way I have noticed so many changes in myself just in this past month by being determined to complete this Ironman.<\/p>\n

So my answer to you is yes.\u00a0 I will continue to hit the gym post Ironman and be focused on my fitness.\u00a0 Again, will you?\u00a0 To tell you the truth, going into my first Indoor Ironman I was nervous.\u00a0 I thought to myself, could I really do this?\u00a0 Could I push myself to complete 26 miles of running, 112 miles of biking, and how could we forget the 2-mile swim?\u00a0 I ultimately did this Indoor Ironman to prove to myself, yes Karlee you can complete all this.\u00a0 As the first couple of days went by the self-doubt came in and out.\u00a0 Half way through the realization popped into my mind that I can do this and I will complete this.<\/p>\n

I have notice a happier me.\u00a0 Going to the gym daily and getting a full workout and knowing I\u2019m completing my goal could not be more fulfilling.\u00a0 If this \u201csimple\u201d task has brought me this much happiness, why wouldn\u2019t I continue to do it.\u00a0 A happier me equals a healthier me.\u00a0 Being happy is a big part of your overall health.\u00a0 Why would you ever stop something that makes you happy?\u00a0 Why would you ever stop something that makes you healthier?<\/p>\n

Endless to say I will continue to push myself at the gym like I have this past month.\u00a0 It may not to be for a free t-shirt anymore, but it will be for a better me.\u00a0 I encourage all of you to also push yourself like you have this past semester, because I know it has to make you feel good on the inside and outside.<\/p>\n

Congratulations to all who completed the 10th<\/sup> annual Indoor Ironman!\u00a0 If this year wasn\u2019t your year, continue to work hard and find that inner strength for next year because you can do it!<\/p>\n

I hope you learn. I hope you laugh. I hope you never stop. And remember being fit is always in style.<\/p>\n
