The Sonya Looney Show

Someone recently asked me what my goals are at the moment.  While I have a lot of different projects, ideas, and races I'm excited about on the horizon (and oh, a BABY)... it all boils down to one thing.  You can call it my mantra of the year, and it's simple. Show UP. Show up.  Sounds simple, but some days it's not so easy. I've experienced pretty extreme fatigue since I got pregnant.  Showing up to pedal has surpassed any training goal because there are a lot of days I don't want to show up.  I've talked about how showing up and how getting started is the best way to be consistent and to overcome excuses - overcoming the activation energy of getting started.  Just setting your commitment level to showing up is powerful and it also takes the pressure off of expectations you may have of yourself.  "Show up" will be a mantra I'll use with a newborn, when I'm scared to show up to races because I won't have the high end fitness for the first part of the seas
