Vision of Victory


One year from right now I will be diving into the deep blue, embarking on one of the greatest challenges of my life. 140.6 Miles of swimming, biking and running. I have a vision of victory for my life. I ask God to take me today and make me all He's ever wanted me to be.


Do you perceive victory in every step? Are you living each day filled with faith and expectancy? God says in Jeremiah 29:11, "My plans for you are good and not evil, to give you a future and a hope." Regardless of what happened to you yesterday or twelve years ago, He wants to turn your tragedy into triumph!!! Let go!!! "Behold I am doing a new thing. Can you not perceive it?" (Isaiah 43:19)

Wow an Ironman. Thats impressive. I have watched on TV, but never thought about completing one. How are you preparing for such a feat? That is inspiring to me, to do such a difficult task with such confidence. I love athletics and this would be a challenge for sure. GO YOU!!

My brother is my inspiration. He competes all the time. AND he's a father of two, husband and puts in 60 hours a week at St. Johns as a PA. If he can be good at all this and not "lose it" in the process, I figure what the heck. It's gotta make me better. I'm only training 10-15 hours a week right now. BUT I'll need to bump that up in 6 months. I'm also in the process of losing 65 pounds which will help me a lot. :) I love to work out and push myself, I think everyone who has a competitive spirit should definitely find a "sport" in fitness whether it's Triathlons, marathons or bodybuilding and find out what they're REALLY made of. My favorite quote...Only those who risk going too far can possibly know how far they can really go! HOORAW! :)
