My rehab is coming along well. I am currently tapering for the Rock n Roll San Antonio Marathon on November 15th. Last night I ran a 4 miler. I started out jogging, but by the end I was probably at a 8 min/mile pace. I don't want to push too hard too long, so for my upcoming marathon my goal is 5 hours.
The big news this week is that I went to my first official Ironteam function of the new season. I met many of my former teammates who are now mentors or captains. I also met some of my new Iron-teammates for this season. I felt like the old veteran on the team facing a new group of rookies. I tried to help out with giving them tips on fundraising since that is a big concern for many of them.
The other big news this week is that I decided to switch from Vineman to Ironman Louisville. I figure if I'm going 140.6 miles, I might as well do it at an official "Ironman" race. L'ville is on August 29, 2010. That means an extra month of training with the wonderful coaches and support staff on the Greater L.A. Ironteam. I know that with their support and the support of my family, friends, and co-workers I can do this. I will be an Ironman !!!

In 2009, while training with Team in Training for the Full Vineman Triathlon, I was injured in a ski accident. I had ACL reconstruction in 7/09. After rehab, I trained for 10 months and became an Ironman at IM Louisville on August 29, 2010. Today I am a 15x Ironman. I have qualified to participate in Ironman Kona on October 8, 2016 through the Ironman Legacy Program. Follow my adventure as I join Ironteam and raise funds for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society on my Road to Kona!
