First of all... THANK YOU to everyone who has made my quarter century birthday special. All the birthday calls, texts, cards, facebook posts, and friends coming out to celebrate really made it a fantastic day! I'm so blessed and loved <3!!!!
I have some very exciting news to share! I was feeling a little crazy and ambitious so I decided to commit to something that I have been thinking of for quite some time. I signed up for the full ironman June 23, 2013 in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. A very long pause and $657.50 later, it's OFFICIAL!
Most of you have probably heard me talk about the ironman and my races. The full ironman is a 2.4 miles swim followed by 112 mile bike and you finish with a 26.2 run for a total of 140.6 miles. You start at 7am and have until Midnight (17 hours) to complete the race. Couer d'Alene is no joke of a course either!! I have butterflies in my tummy just writing about it! I am going to be doing this event with Team In Training which raises money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma society and I have pledged to raise $4700 over the next year. I had such a rewarding experience and met so many great people with TNT Rev 70.3 in May that I am signing up for the next big challenge!!!!!
Posted below are some pics from the last year. People think I'm crazy with all my training that I do but THIS girl has A LOT of fun inbetween!!!! Thank you for all the fun memories over the year. I've had mostly ups, some downs and a lot of experiencew that I will grow from over the past year. 25 and fabulous.... .can't wait to see what adventures the next year and (25!!) bring :)
