... on page 63 for about a year. I have a character that I just can’t get from my head to the paper the way I want. He’s there, I just can’t get him to come to life, and I can’t continue with the other characters until he joins the bunch. They are waiting for him!

I put this together last month as my path to an Ironman, and my current status:

4Q2007 -Atlanta Half Marathon MISSED
1Q2008 – Disney Marathon (Maybe ING Miami, since Disney is closed) 8 WEEKS BEHIND
3Q2008 – Bike Race of some sort
1Q2009 – Swim Race of some sort
3Q2009 – Sprint Tri – TRI-PTC (if I am still in Atlanta)
3Q2010 – Olympic
3Q2011 – Half Ironman
3Q2012 – Ironman

Looks like I need to adjust to hit the ING Miami half. Of course, I should get off my butt and actually train, huh?

I think my #1 goal right now is to lose the extra 40 pounds I’ve found since turning 30. I was down to 170 (from a 190 high point) in December, after about 3 months of relatively focused effort. I’ve now picked back up 20 in the last few months, thanks to a new position at work. This shouldn’t be an excuse, but for some reason I just can’t seem to eat well or exercise. This is where self-discipline comes in. Unfortunately, that’s not available at my local Wal-mart, and I don’t have much. I need to take it one step at a time. One day, one meal, one workout at a time. I have already had three false starts… will this be the fourth? I am starting to lose faith in myself, and actually quite disappointed in my lack of focus. Funny thing is, I would not accept this from folks that work for me.. why do I accept it from myself?
