Dreaming

oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, oh boy...

do I dare put it down in writing?

here goes...

What is a dream, if you don't work to make it come true?

I've decided I'm going to dare to make mine come true. It's going to take a lot of work, a lot of sacrifice - or maybe I should say even more "readjustment" - on the part of my loving and wonderful family, a lot of sweat, possibly some tears, many ice baths and gallons of recovery drink; but I'm committed, committed to giving it my all and leaving the excuses behind.

I'm going to dare to dream of things like "Ali'i drive", "the turn around at Hawi", "the Queen K", lava, winds, and yes, KONA.

and so it begins... a journey that will take me to IM Louisville, August, 28, 2011 and on that day I will give everything I have in an attempt to

qualify for Kona.

I'm scared. I'm shocked at my egotism. but I'm going to try to throw all of that away... take my own advice and choose to

BELIEVE.
