Journeys

Tonight I sit. A few of my friends have set out to do the St George Ironman this weekend, They have set their goals and have put in the time to achieve them. Andy C. got hurt a few months before the ironman and had a pretty hard time walking or moving. but he had set a goal to do the St George ironman in 14 hrs. he achieved this goal with a time of 13:54. very inspirational.. Cheryl Miller have trained for this event also but had a freak accident and broke her foot, no race for her this week, but she is there to cheer on her team mates.

Another Cyclist set a goal to cross America on a bike for her 50Th birthday. Linda B achieve this goal. she rode over 3000 miles in 58 days. what a achievement what a journey.

Again I sit, And I wonder why do I set these quest,what motivates one to take that step.
in thought I still ask why not, I am more motivated every day when I see my friends moving forward in their journeys.

when I started this journey, I was afraid and not sure that I could do this but as time moves forward and I can see the transformation of the people around me and with in myself, the fear has started to dissipate... well at least for this moment.
