Ironman

Why does anyone blog? It's really just one more thing to keep up with. Seriously. it is. I mean I have enough things to do like work, train, school, be in a relationship (we all know that takes a lot of time - stop lying to yourself), and various other crap that we have to take care of. BUT, I decided that I have to get my thoughts out in some kind of way. That and I'm long winded :) I can't continue to talk my loved ones ears of can I? I mean I can and I will, but that's not the point. I just feel like I have so much to offer and whether anyone reads it or not is up to them, but I want it out there. It's my journal of my life. period. And seeing how I just had to journal on a consistent basis for my english class I thought, "hey, why not continue the process?". I also had a good little nudging from an instructor who truly enjoyed my writing. I'd like to describe my writing as a thoughtful process that can also be fairly random and run on like. Depending on my mood will depend on how any particular post will play out on the website.

But this is my life. All the ups and downs, wins and losses. It's me and I'm still learning who me is. I think that we all continue to learn and grow and if you aren't, you are doing something wrong. A lot of my life is revolving around training for a triathlon, which I LOVE. It gives my working out structure and the race is just icing on the cake. It also allows me to fully incorporate living a healthy lifestyle while I try to drop some weight. Ahhhhh, the good ole weight loss. Booo!! *throwing shoe* (That's a whole nother post) But while I change from that shy girl who never liked going outside to that triathlete who cycles and runs outside with no question, it continues to change my life and my perspective *on* my life. Hence, it's IRONic. Iron = Ironman...get it. Yep, I have a goal to complete and Ironman. When? who knows? Soon? That's the goal. Where? no tellin. But that *is* my goal. And there is a difference in completing and racing one - if you don't know, you better ask somebody.
