If that isn't a loaded question, I'm not sure what is.
If you asked me a year ago, I would have responded with something along the lines of: I'm a wife, mother, closed captioner for the hearing impaired, volunteer extraordinaire, sister, friend, daughter...
If you were to ask me today, I would still tell you I am all of those things, but now I can also add: runner, swimmer, cyclist, triathlete, expert on knee issues, run data geek, and other descriptions to that list.
In the last year, I found myself running, swimming, biking, training for races, making new friends, and finding a new side to old friendships.
Mostly, though, I just found myself. I have learned more about who I am and who I want to be on the run (or in the saddle, or in the pool). I am tough. I am weak. I am strong and yet strive to be ever stronger.
This is my journey. I document it mostly for myself as a way to look back on this year as I work toward the goal of the 70.3 Half Ironman distance triathlon in Augusta in September of this year. Feel free to come along for the ride.
