Why?

I turned 30 on 26 December, which means I am officially closer to 40 than I am to 20. Hence, I'm an adult. And although I let it pass with as little glitz and glamour as possible, I did decide to buy myself one birthday gift...a registration to Louisville Ironman (29 Aug 2010)...

So, why? This is something I've always wanted to do. It's been on my proverbial To Do list, since I was a young girl. I can still remember watching the IM championship on TV and being completely inspired as the athletes competed through all legs of the race, and in blazing hot Hawaii conditions too. And although at that time, I thought this was an insurmountable goal, something that only professional athletes could do, I've come to realize that we can truly accomplish anything that we want...it just takes a little bit of discipline and a whole lot of motivation...And isn't it better to try and fail rather than not try at all?
