Just before school started we brought home a three month old Beagle mix puppy. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart. You raised over $6,000 for these communities.
Regardless of how I felt about that race….we did a whole lot of good for those who need it. I’m eternally grateful to all those who helped me achieve that amazing goal. I finished as the top fundraiser on the Lake Placid IMF team. The Ironman was certainly not my best and hours off my previous but I did what I could with what I had and I finished. I’m beyond grateful for those that came to share it with us. Those we lost were remembered in special ways. Our wedding was a wonderful day with all our loved ones with us. I had monetary goals to meet ($3,500) and no option of deferral. But this year, that put me in a tough situation. A year earlier I was so blown away with the community at Lake Placid that I decided to go back and race for the Ironman Foundation to give back. We still had the wedding to plan and, oh yeah….the Ironman to train for and to meet my fundraising commitment.

Travelling down to Florida to be with my dad in early March and him passing March 27 th.
Because my dad was not feeling well, we planned the wedding for July hoping he could come. Shortly after that Geoffrey and I got engaged. Some really good things and some life changing that brought me to my knees.Īt the end of January I fell and broke some ribs. The past eight months have been nothing short of chaos. I’ve been looking forward to September for a while. But I’m either in the mood to write or not. For a while I was pretty good about writing every week or two.
It’s been a while since my last blog post.
