Originally I signed up for my first ironman just to motivate myself to learn how to swim.ShirleyPerlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09237828591170908960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325531192095315467.post-18633939941759855472009-06-30T10:30:39.216-07:002009-06-30T10:30:39.216-07:00When I was in high school I had a IM poster on my ...When I was in high school I had a IM poster on my wall. It was of a race start for the big race in Hawaii, and I looked at that picture and wondered what those guys were thinking. Last year I decided to change my life, and stumbled into Team In Training. I love it. Now the distances are stretching out for me. I remember that poster and want to know what I will think at my IM start.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08382603289965284542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8325531192095315467.post-64589456308449335922009-06-30T08:15:24.289-07:002009-06-30T08:15:24.289-07:00As I have said many a time before, Missy, you Rock...As I have said many a time before, Missy, you Rock!<br /><br />It's funny you posted this today because on my run this morning I wondered why I do this - not out of pity for myself but because I was just thinking. And I realized I do this because for so many years I focused on doing for others and put myself last and somewhere I wanted to do something for me and this happened to be it. And now I do it (although I'm not yet brave enough for a full IronMan) to just see what it is that I really CAN do!Tri Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11347214091388473467noreply@blogger.com
