Over the past 8 years I have learned to love being active. Running, the simple sport of putting one leg in front of the other has turned from a weight lost technique to a passion. Until very recently I had never seen myself as anything more than a really active runner. Well that is all about to change over the next 9 months.
What could be more challenging than trying to push myself to sub 3 hour marathon performances? Perhaps an ultra but that's not really my style. There is always the Ironman! Yes you only have to run 26.2 miles but there is that 2.4 mile swim and 112 on the bike before you get there. Perfect!
Over the next 3/4 of the year I will challenge and push my body to perhaps its physical limits. I will learn to accept doubt and continue to push through the voices that say it's to much. Why would I do such a foolish thing? Because it is the Ironman.
The Ironman! The ultimate endurance event that challenges everyone who throws themselves into the arena.
I hope you will follow me on my journey to the finish line I will likely dream about almost every night. I also hope you will all consider giving to the Multiple Myeloma Foundation. It is thanks to them that I can dream so big and give back in my own small way. Simply visit my fundraising page: athttp://www.active.com/donate/14mmrfimlakeplacid/davidcorbett
Anything you can give means so much to me and I thank you so much in advance!
Here is to the journey that will lead to July 27, 2014 :)
