*Two types of people*

"There are really two types of people... those that say I can't and those who say I can"

My heart is overflowing with desire, with ambition and with hundreds of reasons why I have and am still changing and pushing my body and most of all my mind to the limits. I have overcome some pretty big obstacles and will be faced with many more. However my new found love and what will some say my new addiction is wiping the word "can't" from my vocabulary.

Pain is about seeing how strong you are mentally! The last couple of years I am really getting to grasp how strong I! I can overcome obstacles and I can finish these races.

The feelings and emotions that come before, during and after the race are hard to describe.. There is a burning feeling of anticipation and victory that comes with each race. A feeling I never ever want to lose in this lifetime.

This weekend I'll be doing my 2nd triathlon! Some and most think I'm "crazy" for doing these..and others just call me stupid! To those of you that think either of those... Those are reasons number #24 and #25 as to why I'm doing this!! ha ha

I have a goal set in my mind... and that goal is in the next 2-3 years compete in an Ironman! Yes some may call that a bit of a stretch... But this is my goal! Really is there not a better feeling the achieving and accomplishing goals? To me this is my goal..and a goal I am working towards!

So by the end of this year- I will have completed 4 triathlons if all goes well.
Bear Lake, St. George, Orem and then the last of the season in St. George (hopefully with my nieces Avery and Addison- I'm still trying to convince Bret and Alisha to say yes!!! lol)

I found this video and can't help but want the ironman on my resume even more!

That is awesome. It leaves me wanting. I need to sign up for something again this summer so I can have an excuse again and motivation to train now.
