I enjoy reading your blog...as our "runs" uphill and down have something in common!<br />You have an amazing wife and kids as well who will be there to cheer you on and even though you are dripping with sweat will come running to give you a hug! ( I must say, I would say, "daddy, you gotta shower then I'll hug you!)<br />Keep it up, Tracy...as you are an inspiration to many!<br /><br />AmyAmy Olneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08453975837481573742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1229425385035130865.post-44540238185214967572010-06-17T16:29:23.641-05:002010-06-17T16:29:23.641-05:00Hang in there!

Not that you weren't before, but if IM training was easy everybody would do it. I've always thought the training was the hardest part and the actual IM is the gravy. You said "is it worth it?", I wouldn't have been able to do it without the unselfish support from Jes and Jacob! All I ever heard was encouragement and believe me I know it's hard to hear some times because you're not pulling your fair share at home/family/social to train. The joy and sincere happiness I saw on their faces when I crossed the finish line made it ALL worth it!<br /><br />You will do this!<br /><br />MikeMike Montoyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03581855785881912882noreply@blogger.com
