We each have \u201cour own Ironman.\u201d It might be a 5k. It might be climbing Everest. Doesn\u2019t matter.

today, my friend, Tom Garrity, owner of The Garrity Group, the leading PR Firm in New Mexico, joins us to share how he trained for and competed in the Ironman 70.3 Boulder, crossed the finish line with his arm in a sling, and still achieved a personal record.

Tom\u2019s story of getting active didn\u2019t even start until his late forties. From couch to marathon training, to ultras to Ironman 70.3 - that\u2019s a Type A character if I\u2019ve ever met one, all while running his PR agency.

There is no shortage of laughter in our conversation as well as ideas for keeping motivated for those mornings you just don\u2019t want to get out of bed.

- What is the key to motivation?
- Why you don\u2019t have to be a top finisher to be achieving big goals.
- Finding the balance between pushing yourself but knowing your boundaries, your strengths. In other words, how to keep it real
- Training and juggling running a business. Don\u2019t expect a three-step framework here. There is no answer.
- The awesome story of working through adversity to finish his second half ironman not only finish, but best performance.
