Training has Begun!

Ironman training has officially begun.  I am now in my second week of training.  Jenna has been training for like months because she is crazy!  Jenna and I met on Sunday with four local ironman finishers:  Mount Davis, Mason Flake, Diana Holland, and Denise Kiesel.  It was great! They all had a little bit different information to share.  Diana mentioned that when she would go running that she would always think about crossing the finish line and having the music playing.  Jenna and I talk about that ALL the time, just about how we are going to feel WHEN we cross the finish line.  Over Christmas break, Jenna and I watch the Ironman World Championship and it really got us pumped up.  What an inspiration!!  After talking with some of our new ironman friends and continuing our research on the race, there is not a doubt in my mind that Jenna and I will both be ironman come August.  We are getting really excited! To tell  you how much of a dork I am, I recently cut a whole bunch of inspirational pictures out of my triathlon magazines and laminated them and have hung them around my house to keep me focused.  I truly believe this race could be just as much mental as physical.  If anyone would like to go swimming, biking, or running with Jenna and I at any time during this training, please call us.  We would love to have company.  We are starting to realize that the only way we will keep friends and family during this training is to get our friends to join us.  Well anyways I just wanted to report that all is good in ironman training world.
