Ten..

I was going to come up with my top ten reasons for doing Ironman, but that seems to take to much effort. I have ten days until I get to race. Hey there is number one, I get to do this. How many people can say that they get to do something that they love every day. Not that I love swimming, sorry Kathleen, but I'm getting there. I am really blessed with the people in my life that have made this all possible. Without the support that I have from family and friends I would not get to do this, year after year. So thanks, many times over I thank each and every one of you!

It is officially quarantine time at our house. I do not touch door handles, shopping carts, or shake people's hands. I do not volunteer in my kids school, have play dates, or kiss them! Hugs are fine unless you are sick then you must stay 40 feet away as germs can travel up to 30 feet. I also need to avoid injury, and I am very accident prone. One year before a race I was starting the lawn mower and sliced my elbow open on a near by tree branch. Another year, I ran over my big toe with the running vacuum and ripped off the nail. Therefor I avoid house cleaning and yard work. Needless to say by the time I get home it is major cleaning time!!

I have a great feeling about this race. I know that Larry and I will do well, and I hope we have fun! I am apologizing now for anything I say or do that may offend anyone. Cheers!!
