I recently had the pleasure of talking\u00a0to Amy Rosendahl, Joe Stone’s\u00a0fianc\u00e9,\u00a0about some amazing life lessons she learned while\u00a0training for the upcoming IRONMAN Coeur d’Alene, which she’ll attempt\u00a0on June 28, 2015.<\/p>\n

In 2009, Amy had little to no running experience. She started setting bigger and bigger goals in the next few years, running five marathons and a few sprint triathlons. Just last year, she completed her first 70.3-mile Half IRONMAN in Boise, ID.<\/p>\n

Through her experience\u00a0supporting Joe in his\u00a0IRONMAN attempt in 2013, Amy gained\u00a0a full appreciation for the dedication, hard work and determination required to accomplish such a feat and decided to give it a try this year. For the past eight months, she has committed to a strict six day a week training regimen as she prepares to swim 2.4 miles, bike 112 miles, and run 26.2 miles \u2014 all within 17 hours.<\/p>\n

Through this challenge, Amy has learned a lot about what it takes to\u00a0successfully train for and continuously move towards accomplishing such a large personal goal. The process has revealed many incredible\u00a0secrets and breakthroughs that can be applied to all areas of our lives.<\/p>\n

Here are Amy’s top five life lessons learned while\u00a0training for an Ironman.<\/p>\n

  4. Don\u2019t allow the skeptics to stop you<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 don\u2019t listen when others tell you your ideas are too crazy. Even if you fail, it gives you the opportunity to find a different way to accomplish your goal.<\/li>\n
