The big decision

A few years ago I decided to run a  ½ marathon just after my wedding, and of course me and my bestie trained hard for it…. And just before the ½ marathon I found out the I was pregnant… now this was planned but it certainly happened quicker than we expected.   What to do should I still run the ½ or cut it back to the 10 km! Well I decided that since I trained hard for the ½ I was going to do it Prego and all. I finished it with a sprained ankle and a full bladder but finished it !!! One of my proudest moments!!!
I remember that feeling like it was yesterday, 3 years have gone by and I have only done one 5 km walk since.  I struggled with postpartum depression badly! I decided I was not happy I have gained a ton of weight and cried all the time… when did I feel GREAT … when I crossed the finish line!
So I joined the Gym in April of 2011! I have worked out a lot I have lost 115 lbs and need to lose more like 113 lbs. Now I know 115 lbs in a year isn’t anything to sneeze at but I WANT MORE……
So not long ago I was sitting at home messing around on FB and I see a friend posting about her cousin who is doing an IRON MAN  yep that’s right what a huge goal….. I all of a sudden had this great idea …….. I need some goal so why not I WILL DO AN IRON MAN BEFORE I AM 40! Now that is several years away but think of the feeling of when you cross the finish line….
