The Road Starts Here

After a multiple year absence I am back. I actually have a journey to chronicle and in theory I’ve already missed part of it. This journey started in early 2014 but it wasn’t until now that I realized maybe someone would find this interesting, or a least mildly entertaining. 

I am going to document my journey to Ironman 70.3 Victoria, B.C. on June 12, 2016. What happens after that? My blog will likely self-destruct or maybe I’ll pick out some other completely asinine goal that requires additional support of family and friends. Which by that time will likely be waning…. 

I will have plenty of time to reflect on the past 18 months and how I got here, as in today. But today I am fighting a cold, a severe case of laziness, and realizing the cold hard reality that I am signed up to run a ½ marathon in less than 2 weeks. Thus far my longest run is 7 miles and although I am oddly confident I can finish, I am also starting to realize it’s going to be long few hours (not few as in 2, more like few as in 3). 

I am spiffing up the blog with a fancy countdown to remind me I still have plenty of time to get my Sh*t together. And there is no better time to start than today, well except maybe tomorrow.
