Forward Momentum

It's 9 days till raceday and I'm already thinking about what I can do next.

Wait, wait, you say. Is this the same girl who has been awaiting this day with dread? Who has been waiting for the chance to buy a roadbike instead of a racebike so that she can just be done with all this mechanical crap? The same girl who hates swimming? She's actually wondering if she can do an IRONMAN!?!?!?!?

When will it end?? Just last night I had a minor meltdown about how I don't have an "off" button. I don't know the meaning of stop and it wears me down. Isn't this something I'll have to teach myself, by just STOPPING so that I can breathe?

NO! What kind of blog do you think this is? Who do you think I am? Someone who writes a whole stinking blog about running isn't the kind of person who will just transition it into one about cooking!

Now that the initial terror has worn off a bit, I'm convinced that I must own my own wetsuit so that I can participate in half iron mans (HIM) and work my way up to the full Ironman. What does an IM consist of?

Let me tell you:
2.4 mile swim
112 mile bike ride FOLLOWED BY
a MARATHON!!!!! 26.2 miles!

WHO WANTS TO DO IT WITH ME!?!?!?!?!
