I gathered this holiday weekend with all my friends to have this amazing long weekend full of fun and celebration. We went and saw Blue Man Group, had massages at the Mandera Spa at the Portofino Bay Hotel, rode rollercoasters at Islands of Adventure and enjoyed a night of celebration at the Luau New Year's Eve Party at the Royal Pacific. My friends know that this was my last big party night before 11 months of training for an Ironman...so we had a blast. A beautiful dinner, an open bar (but I really don't drink) and fireworks at the end made for one amazing way to say goodbye to 2007.
NOW...the fun starts...
Tomorrow morning..January 2nd, I weigh in, do my first workout of 2008 with Hector, my Ironman trainer, and get on the road to an Ironman finish. As I raise my champagne glass for one last sip...I wish you much success and great happiness in 2008...

What a small world. You may not remember our encounter but I do. We stood behind you in line to register for IMFL 08 the day before the race. I had my wife and daughter in line with me and I remember you were wearing the finisher hat for 70.3. I hope the new year brings strength to be at the start 11/1. I'll be there with you. I started a blog as well. I'll keep in touch and good luck with the training.
Oh Ryan...what a wonderful surprise to see you message!! You are so very kind. Thank you so much for saying hello and maybe we can help each other over the next weeks and months!! :) See you in Nov.!!!
Missy, This is going to be your Ironman Year!I'm so proud of you and all your already many accomplishments, You Rock! Thank you for such a wonderful time over New Years, as It meant so much to Joel and I to celebrate our first New Years together with such great friends! Good luck with the training and keep moving foward! :) Sandi
Missy - good luck with your training I am sure it will go well with Hector on board helping you. Since yoou have 11 months please make sure you get plaenty of rest and make sure he does not ramp up your mileage too quickly - 11 months is a long time to be putting in this kind of training.
Good luck - you will do well.
