Ironman Louisville training window - 668 days
2009 Columbus Marathon training window - 361 days
I just wanted to pop in and let everyone know how the body is responding after Sunday. I am happy to say that my muscles are, for the most part, now speaking to me again. My shoulders and back are 100%, my feet still have some sore spots - but none of the blisters of last year (yeah!!!). The calves are getting better every day. Yesterday, I looked like a very old man as I was forced to take very small, shuffling steps. Especially after sitting for any time. I am walking much better today and I can do some light stretching of the calves without the burning pain. My head is also doing better. Shaving the head today was not as painful as yesterday.
All in all, I am impressed by how quickly this wonderful body we have been given by God can repair itself. I am also glad that I took the last two days off from work to recuperate.
I have not been notified that the pictures are available but I will provide a link to any shots that they took once I get it.

I did not read your entire blog...but from what I read I presume you are losing weight and training for an Ironman. I am here to tell you that you can do it...IMpossible Is Nothing. I started my own journey in August of 2006 at 292lbs...fast forward 2 years and I earned my M-Dot at Ironman Florida 2008 weighing 165 lbs. It was the most amazing moment of my life...I am excited just knowing what you are going to experience. Feal free to contact me and I will tell you more about my own story. Don't worry I am not selling anything.
