All right, after considerable harassment by friends (thank you), I have decided that I need to get back on track with my journey to health. I let the poison ivy and various and sundry other stressful items (like a husband stuck in Lebanon–the country, not a U.S. city–freak me out too much). So, to get fit, I have to deal with stress of all types and remember that fitness is my number one goal and NOT the part of my life that I can let slide. I still want Adam to have to pay to send me to the Ironman Triathlon–though truth be told, I cannot imagine doing a 2-mile swim, a 100-mile bike ride, and then a marathon. I can’t even do the 2-mile swim.
Anyway, back on track and will keep everyone posted about my progress on this journey. It is not as exciting as my husband’s journey in Lebanon, but a journey nonetheless.
Glad to see you are back! We have both made progress, I got out of Lebanon and you got back to the blog. Keep up the good work!
You will have 17 hours to complete 140.6 miles. no problem with the correct belief system in place.
2.4 miles in a lake with alligators, 112 mile bike ride (some section of florida are not flat by the way) and an marathon.
you can do it, just look at all the others who were overweight and have completed the IM. I am convinced that the human body is designed to go that distance – and all the finishers are proof.
afterward we’ll go to DisneyWorld to celebrate! We’ll go thru the kiddie ride “It’s a small world after all” in about 20 different languages! – a must see.
Glad to see you back!! Best to D, too.
