My Journey

Top weight 255 lbs........

That was then. This is now.

Celebrating 25 years of marriage to my wife Angela!
Smoke free for 7 years.
5 years sobriety July 11 2007
Weight loss of 85 lbs. I began Weight Watchers in 01/05 and reached my WW Lifetime goal in 05/05.

I have completed 3 half marathons, 2 marathons, 1 Sprint duathlon and 1 Olympic Triathlon. I am now training for my first Half Ironman and then will continue my training for my first Ironman in Coeur D'Alene Idaho June 22,2008.

I am going to use this blog so others can follow along with my trials and tribulations during my Ironman training. So feel free to drop in anytime and see what is happening.

Right On, Randy!! I might just be right on your heels pal!. I've spoken to Melissa about hitting Coeur d'Alene next year instead of Pac Crest. You need a training partner anyway!!

WOW!! I have no doubt that you will be able to pull off the HIM as well as IMCDA. I'll be there supporting a friend from Florida and can't wait to see you compete!

Enjoy the journey.
