History
I started running in January of 2004 to get in shape. I had gained too much weight and felt terrible. I was able to run my first 5K 3 months later. 2 years later and 50 lbs lighter, I have continued to push for greater goals and have run 5 marathons and I am training for an Iron distance triathlon now. Everyday I wake up with a positive attitude towards life, training and my future.
Marathons Completed
Arizona RockNRoll 2007
Salt Lake City Marathon 2006
Steamboat Marathon 2005
Boulder Backroads 2005
Las Vegas Marathon 2005

OK ........ First of all I want to thank everyone that has posted comments to help settle me down. It is nice to know that others have gone through these same feelings before me.
I am feeling a little better this morning. I was able to get pool time last eventing and again this morning. I felt a little more relaxed this morning. My form a little more deliberate and slow. My breathing a little slower. The pool at my gym finally opened and it is nice to swim without having to pay extra. it is a little small for laps but it is OK for practicing flip turns. They will be opening up the Endless Pool next week and then my training can take a big jolt.
Tonight I am going to start getting everything together and packed. Last night, in my usual Obsessive/Compulsive way, cleaned and tuned my bike for this weekend. Hey, if I don't do well at the Triathlo I will at least have the best looking bike, right. Enough for now, CIAO......
