Good Old Fashion Beat Down? Not for Me!

I refuse to give up.... I was trying to not only finish the Ironman, but also finish with a good time. Sub 6 hours would have been my goal. Now with my leg injury, My new goal is to cross the finish line!!! NO MATTER WHAT IT TAKES!!!

I have been waffling between Sadness AND Excitement. After 5 years working for a national homebuilder, yesterday my position within the company was eliminated. I am leaving behind some amazing people as I start a new journey. I will take a month to enjoy my family, travel a little and try to clear my head. 

Objective number one: what do I want to be when I grow up? While in High School, I thought that I would be a fighter pilot in the Navy. I grew up on Navy bases as my father worked on F-14 Tomcats (coolest plane on the planet). Well, as we all know, that didn't happen. Through a series of twists and turns, I found myself working as a Purchasing manager studying spreadsheets and negotiating contracts. Not what I had imagined doing, but none the less, I enjoyed it. That chapter may be closed and now and I need to start a new one. 

With just over a week until the Ironman- All I have to say is "BRING IT ON!" 

Adios my Friends!
