I *** heart*** Ironman

To those who understand why I do this, I thank you. I thank you so very much for taking the time to understand why I do what I do. I take that time for you and your passion. The fact that you do it for me makes me so happy. The Ironman is one day. [...]

Knowing When

Cracking the Egg

Today didn’t get much better than yesterday and what happened to that week where “20 hours felt like nothing?” Who the hell said that. All by design, I assure you. Or rather Coach T would assure me.

Dance Like No One Is Watching

I finally found this poem that I adore…… Dance Like No One Is Watching Author unknown. We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are. After that, we’re frustrated [...]

Not in 2009

I will not do an Ironman in 2009.I will not do an Ironman in 2009.I will write that 300 times on the chalkboard after school today. I just don’t know if anyone in my life can handle anymore Ironman brain. Or lack thereof.It took me 15 minutes yesterday to realize that 180 watts is not [...]
