I DID IT!


I know I posted a blog earlier today. But I had to share my exciting news. So, I have always been the one in the family that is a little bit crazy. If there is a challenge, I go for it. If there is a mountain, I climb it. If there is a marathon, I run it. Well you get the picture..so there is this Ironman, and I do it! So I have had this dream since I was a little girl. I dreamed that I would do an Ironman Triathalon some day. An Ironman consists of a 2.4 mile swim, 112 Mile Bike Ride and a 26.2 Marathon all in one day. Well the first Ford Ironman to come to Utah has arrived. It will be in St. George Utah in May 2010. I have been thinking about it and I have been wondering and I have been thinking about it and I have been wondering. The idea of it makes me want to throw up, but when I picture the finish, I get excited like a little kid in a candy store. So I have this dream, and I am going to accomplish it. My mom told me today that I graduated from marathon running, so it is time to go for it! If I am really crazy to attempt this, it does not matter now..I am signed up! As of 4:45 pm today. I am an offical entrant. It cost almost 600 dollars but I am so stoked! I want to inspire anyone who has a goal to do something, just go for it! Don't fear it, live for it!

Training will begin in October, I can do this! Wish me luck! Its my year! I will be an Iron Woman!
