IT"S OFFICIAL!!!

Well it's official as of 12/8/12 I am registered for the 2013 Ironman Louisville!!!!! Geez,  I get chills simply thinking about it. I told Meg last night that I haven't wanted to do something this bad in a very long time. I think about it non stop. You might even call it an obsession. I want to cross that finish line! I'm one step closer now :) I'm also thinking of signing up with Team in Training for the IM. They are organizing a group. I can commit to raising $4,500 for Leukemia, and Lymphoma research, and they will provide coaches, organize training sessions, and assist with fundraising. I've heard such amazing things about TNT. I'm going to think about it a bit more, but right now I'm 75% sure I'm going to work with them. I love using my races as a means to fund-raise for a bigger cause. Makes my selfish addiction a little less selfish.

  4. Yes, I would certainly say it's an obsession in thought and conversation... but I love you for it and I know you are going to cross that line on August 25.
