Welcome to my blog as I start on my journey to become an Ironman!! I start in earnest on January 1st, but I'll get some training done these last few days of December. I was an obese couch potato turned fitness nut. I've done two sprint triathlons and will step it up in 2012 with Olympics and Halfs and my Ironman will be Ironman Texas on May 2013, days before my 35th birthday, which is my goal. I can currently comfortably run 5 miles, bike 30, and swim 60 laps. I have a long way to go. This blog will detail the journey.
