So here it is....my journey to becoming an IRONMAN!!! I finally feel like the training has started. I am ten weeks in but I am only now starting to feellike a triathlete again. It has been tough trying to get back into the training mindset after taking a few months off to relax and enjoy my boyfriend, pig out and sleep in on a weekend but I am so much happier now that the training has kicked in. My life feels more complete with the chaos of early morning ocean swims before work, squeezing a run in before the sun goes down and bike rides that go into the afternoon. I did get a little nervous today when I realized that my Ironman is only 7.5 months away. It is a daunting thought that in November I am going to swim 2.4 miles, ride 112 miles and then do a 26.2 mile run. I’ve finally taught myself to not look at the end game. All I have to do is get through my workout today. If I can do that and just believe in the training, I know I will get across that finish line with a smile on my face. I am excited for this year. I know it is going to be an unbelievable journey and I feel so lucky to be able to experience it with my amazing boyfriend and wonderful friends by my side.
