I found a link in an old email to this story about Ironman from Coeur d’Alene in 2009 and this picture of me was in one of the photo gallery . I love that I finished my first Ironman on a Trek road bike.
IM Mont Tremblant
No time to post every day – I’m in Ironman Training Mode. 64 Days until Race day.
12 hour training week. I’m 6 hours in. Woot.
Things To Do Before You Die, updated
Today, Saturday.
A day when I wake up and have time to think and dream and write.
Today I ask: What am I doing with my life? What do I want to be?
These questions I’ve asked myself for most 30 plus years.
I think that right now is good. I think that what I’m doing is what I am suppose to be doing, for the most part.
Is my life what I envisioned for myself? No. But I don’t think many people in their fourth decade are living the life they imagined. If you are, email me. I’d love to talk to you.
As I look back on my goals and the list of things-I-want-to-do list I created in 1992, I see that I’ve reached almost all the goals I created for myself. There are a few things I haven’t done so today I created a new list of “things I want to do before I die”.
Here is my updated list, not in order of importance, with some left over from the original 1992 list and some new ones:
- Be a member of a church
- Log cabin in the woods (this could be just a rental, not necessarily owned)
- Visit Spain
- Visit Italy
- Finish a 50 mile running race
- Finish a 100 mile running race
- Complete a Marathon in every state
- Hike all 4,000 footers in NH
- Hike all 4,000 footers in NE
- Climb all the 14ers in Colorado
- Solo Pentathlon – Steamboat Springs or Tuckerman Inferno (I don’t kayak right now)
- Finish Ironman Florida
- Ski Tuckerman’s Ravine (added April 20, 2018)
I have some things to start working on today.
Ironman Florida Training Update
Now this is a week I can be happy (and sore) about.
Glad to get the miles and hours in.
Ironman Training – more hours, more miles
I’m getting there. Up to 10 hours this past week. This week trying for 15!
I’m all booked for Panama City Beach. Air, Lodging, Dogs, Tribike transport.
