But what about us mortals who have limited time, money, or athletic prowess? I propose a create-your-own-triathlon.
- Choose three (ish) fun, doable activities (bonus points if they're semi-athletic, but also, not necessary).
- Go do them.
- Brag shamelessly on Facebook.
Let's make this doable: no rules about how long you have to spend doing each activity (may I suggest the time limit: keep going as long as you're having fun). And realistic: no need to do them back to back to back. Try to do them all in one day, or in one 24-hour period.
A traditional tri is swim-bike-run. Here's some other ideas...
- Take your dog (or your neighbor's dog, or your cat(?!)) for a walk somewhere new
- Go kayaking
- Go dancing
- Go for a hike
- Play some tennis
- Pop in a yoga dvd
- Check out the local trampoline park (Seriously, I went to one this past week and it was stupid fun!)
- Shoot some hoops
- Find a friend and play Frisbee
- A round of golf--mini or regular
- Bowling
Some winter-specific ideas...
- Skiing--cross-country or downhill
- Snowshoeing (you can often rent snowshoes and skis at sporting goods stores)
- Ice skating
- Sledding (no need to be a total adult about this!)
- Get some friends together and have a snowball fight :)
As I said, your three activities don't all have to be super active. Make them fun, memorable, intentional...
- Build a campfire and roast s'mores
- Bake a loaf of homemade bread or make your favorite soup from scratch
- Meditate, pray, watch the birds, gaze at stars (Meditation is part of Wanderlust 108, which also includes a 5k run/walk and a yoga practice. This is on my bucket list.)
- Go to a museum, a botanical garden, or a zoo
- Build or create something (I've always wanted to build a Little Free Library)
- Volunteer
Let's do this!
