Weeks to recover and what is next ???

So I have had a few weeks to recover and think about what is next for myself.....
Another Ironman ~ a new job ~ a change of residence ??? I'm not sure about much but I have made a few decisions.....

- Most importantly, I need to thank my friends and family who made the trip - traveled the journey - supported me and waited in the rain until all hours of the night to watch me cross the finish line.... I LOVE ALL OF YOU !! YOU MAKE MY LIFE SO GREAT ~ THANK YOU !!!!!!


#1) I will be in Lake Placid in July 09 to cheer on my amazing friends and hope to help them as much as they helped me.

#2) I am planning to sign up for Ironman Arizona (Nov. 09 ) with hopes of traveling this
amazing journey once again. Jay and Dad - if I remember correctly your paying my entry fee !!

#3) I will continue to do Team in Training to remind me how lucky I was to make the journey...
I will support all the cancer fundraising I can.... Carol Miller - I'll walk as far as I need to to support breast cancer and help raise awareness.... most of all ~ while I am healthy I will try to make a difference, even if it seems small. To all of you (Arlene, Greg, Mark , Carol and anyone I am forgetting ) My accomplishments pale in comparison to how you live each day. I hope to honor each and everyone of you every time I am healthy enough to race a race !!

#4) My good friend Paula who talked me in to my first triathlon is finally doing one of her own
and I am joining her in Las Vegas Oct 19th - go PAULA you will ROCK !! ( ps..thanks for giving me this life - I owe you big time )

#5) I will attempt to find a balance between triathlon, work and personal life ... if any of you have ideas ~ I welcome any suggestions....

Thanks everyone ! Without all of you ~ nothing I've done so far would be nearly as fun !!

( Team Pink ~ you are my angles !! Thank you )
