A good reminder

I just finished reading through some race reports written by a couple of friends (the Tiara Ditcher and JennyLou) who also raced Ironman Wisconsin. I am humbled by the magnitude of our accomplishment and am thankful to have friends who are so genuinely positive and appreciative of our abilities. Sometimes I am so negative... and carry a lot of rage toward the world in general... and then I read something heartfelt that they've written and it brings tears to my eyes and goosebumps to my skin. Reading their reports was a great reminder to me of why I do Ironman and how lucky I am to be able to get up every day and do what I love.
