About Reza Ali

Thanks for visiting RezaAliReActivated.com This is a blog where a share my journey into the world of swimming, biking and running. I started this journey in Nov 2010 which was when I decided that I have to start paying attention to the state of my health and fitness. I write a Daily Log which I also use as an exercise and workout journal. I also have a Category called _'Musings and Thoughts' w_here I share on various things that happens to the world and to me. Though this blog describes a lot of my journey in getting fit and skillful at the triathlons, you should not read it as such. I think a lot of the posts is about achieving goals and dreams. It just so happens, this is my present goal and my current dream. Having said that, competing in a triathlon is by far the most difficult undertaking in my life. I have to make so many changes not only to my lifestyle but also to the way I do the simplest things like run.To a certain extent that’s true as the person I am today is a different person that the person I was when I wrote that blog. I don’t mean that I have become a completely different person. Rather, I have a learnt a heck of a lot and I don’t mean just knowledge but also about myself. There’s been a lot of failures and setbacks. A lot of accomplishments and victories as well. And that’s the beauty of going through something like training for a triathlon. I am forced to go beyond my limits many many times and I’ve discovered that these limits are merely limits I put on myself.I am forced to face my fears many many times too and I’ve discovered that the fears are mere creations of my own mind. I am forced to learn to have more compassion for myself as failures and setbacks would often lead to self punishment and even self loathing. You don’t have to go through a triathlon to experience these things.

All you need is a mission and the will to go through the journey. The rest will just follow. Many have inspired me in my journey and I always say, ‘if they can do it, then I can do it too’. So maybe by reading this, you would one day say, if Reza can do it, then I can do it too’.
