I am excited to have finished the 2009, 2010, and 2014 Lake Placid Ironman, 2016 Ironman Mont Tremblant, the New Jersey Marathon, Rock n Roll Arizona and San Antonio Marathons, ING NYC Marathon, Mohawk Hudson Marathon, and the Vermont City Marathon. I have also run lots of other running races and several 70.3 races. I love racing and triathlons. This is a blog about training and racing!

DONE
I am officially done with cancer treatments! I am extremely excited! April 30 will have a very exciting meaning for a long time. It is the first day of the rest of my life. I decided a celebration was in order. What does that mean to me? It was an 1800 yard swim before work, an 8.88 mile bike ride, followed by a 2 mile run. This was my first brick workout since August 2011 (I think). Why did I decide to do this? Because I can. I was really excited to see a bald eagle on the run as well. It was fantastic. I am not usually a person who believes in symbolic things but I just thought that this was really cool. The symbol of our nations freedom. The bird that was almost extinct and made a comeback was just flying by as I was running my first brick since 2011. Wow! I am also super excited that my marathon training is at its peak for the last treatment. I am doing a 20 miler this weekend and then I am running a marathon May 26th!!! Wow!! I'm extremely excited and fueled internally by a fire that just gets bigger everyday! What a way to celebrate me being alive!! Here's to my freedom, my rebirth, and my comeback!!!
April stats are fantastic too!!!
Swim: 5.22 miles in 3 hrs 31 min
Bike: 165.55 miles in 13 hrs 33 min
Run: 106.02 miles in 19 hrs 57 min
