Ironman Augusta 70.3 - 22 Days to go

Yesterday I had a great run and the day before I swam the 2000M that I'll be doing in the race. I'm not doing doubles very much right now as I'm working between two jobs, a book, and my training. I keep wondering how people train for the Ironman... I'm thinking some things I'm doing now would have to drop.

Sept 1st was my two year anniversary of beginning this journey toward health. I remember that day that I decided to change and went out for a run. I didn't make it more than a few blocks. Today, I run 13 miles at a stretch. I couldn't swim a lap or two without stopping. Today I've swum 4000M continuous. I wasn't able to bike 10 miles and last weekend I biked 62 miles (100 km). Two years ago, I was morbidly obese, physically frustrated, and very unhappy with my body. Today I have muscles and veins that you can see and I genuinely like the way I look. I'm amazed at my balance and strength.
