Soaking up every minute: Coeur D' Alene Ironman 2012
http://leslieoneil.blogspot.com/2012/06/coeur-d-alene-ironman-2012.html
Soaking up every minute. Friday, June 29, 2012. Coeur D' Alene Ironman 2012. I started this journey two years ago. My training buddy Bob Smith had just finished Vineman and we decided to do Ironman Coeur D'Alene in 2012. I had done some research on Ironman coaching prior to watching the race in 2011. The day after the race I signed up and a day later received an email from a coach I had contacted months earlier who asked, " Did you sign up? Ready to start training? Coach Chris Hauth of AIMP Coaching.

My journey from unhealthy, forty something couch potato to Ironman. Friday, October 3, 2014. Day 602- The Agony of De Feet. October 2, 2014 235 lbs. It has been a couple weeks since my last post.

As a result of the plantar fasciitis getting worse and having to sleep with the night boot splints on, I haven't had a good nights sleep in weeks. This helped a really nasty bo...

My journey from unhealthy, forty something couch potato to Ironman. Sunday, June 14, 2015. On The Road Again. June 14, 2015. It has been some time since my last post, I know. So what have I been up to? Basically, I developed a drinking problem and then had to quit. I wasn't trying to emulate Rich Roll, it just kind of happened. So I sat around, and I drank, and waited to heal. . . and waited. . . and drank some more. I kept the bottles to remind me of how far into it I went. Links to this post.
