One step closer to IM

So it is official now!  I have 2 volunteer positions at IMAZ this fall.  I'll be doing body marking with my friend Rachel and working a run aid station towards the en of the run (this is the one I really wanted - cuz I know that I'll be out there then),  Thanks to Pattie K. who told me to make sure I get a "speedpass" position, I did and will get priority registration for the 2014 race!  Rachel and I have our room booked and are planning our trip.  It's going to happen! 

This means that the reality of my full Ironman is one step closer now!  It's funny that felling of excitement and nerves hit me after I signed up to volunteer.  This isn't even the race sign up yet!  I think that enormity of the Ironman hits me as it becomes more real and less the dream.  I know that the day I actually commit to the race will be a real mind bender! 

Since my boot camp ended, I have been kind of lazy - it has been nice.  But this week I am back at it and my body is noticing the change!  I need to get a real schedule down and work on some serious spin skills.  My cadence is way too slow.  I also know that right now my race times, lets just say are not compatible with the IM cut offs.  Obviously this could be an issue.  So I defiantly need to train to be faster! 

That said - I have over a year to ready myself and  I know I can do it!
