One week until race day...
On September 29th when I signed up for Ironman Chattanooga it really seemed like this day would never arrive.
I am feeling quite proud to have decided to start the journey toward an Ironman, stuck with the training when I would rather have slept or relaxed, spent so much money and be ready to head to the start line!
How many workouts you might be thinking and I wanted to give a little breakdown, keep in mind I do not train with music because you can not race with music. While some of these workouts were completed with others many were done completely alone with my thoughts. This journey has given me so much time for self reflection and I have been very lucky to realize how happy I am with myself and the people in my life right now. It has also given me plenty of time to think about those no longer with me and how they have impacted my life.
