Tick Tock - Time Flies!

Wow - has it really been THIS long since I've posted to my blog? I know I meant to blog more often - geez...

Well, here's to posting more frequently.

I'm engaging in a new journey folks, one that I thought I might as well take anyone along who cares to listen (or read). As I am immersing myself in a new organization and building a newcareer, I am also undertaking a personal challenge - I am training for Ironman Coeur d'Alene.

My triathlon "career", if you will, has barely just begun. My very first race, an Olympic distance, is this Sunday. My "A" race for this season, a 1/2 Ironman, is coming up at the end of October. I'm really, really enjoying my training, and I'm really wanting to take it to the next level. I've always been one to be up for a challenge, and Ironman was the next step.

So, I've hired a coach, and I'm ready to start the journey. Its going to be a long road over the next 9 months, but I'm so excited to see what I can do. And I'm LOVING how this makes me look, and more importantly, FEEL. I feel STRONG, I feel confident, I feel alive.

I hope you'll come along with me - I'll be using this space to chronicle my journey, my triumphs, my challenges and all the workouts along the way. Here we go - more coming soon!
