The beginnings of the plan are in place. Among the action items to be completed between now and White Rock:
- call the local swim school regarding coaching availability/rates -- I'd already planned to have them give Elder Child an assessment, so I'll go along for the ride
- call the medical school's nutrition/weight control center for a meeting with a dietary specialist -- I've already got a referral from my endocrinologist
- call the local bike shop for information on their clinics for bike maintenance and a beginner ride group. I'll probably not be able to join the rides until after the marathon, but at least I'll have the info handy
- check the calendar, if available, for summer 2007 sprints in the area. I know there are a few to choose from. I know there is a Danskin in Austin, too, so that might be a good one to make a debut at, since they specialize in first-timers.
So, yeah, I was serious as a heart attack about it. The decision is made. The gears are in motion. Tick-tock.
Tomorrow, a 4-miler as I build up mileage again for White Rock. Time for bed now, even if Da Ali G show is on.

Alrighty then, let the nitty gritty planning BEGIN!
As motivated as I have been by our buddies doing IMF, I think I'll just live vicariously through them and you a little longer.
I'm not sure I'll ever attempt an Ironman. I'll have to try a tri eventually, but the *I* word is pretty iffy. Mind you, I there was a time when I never thought I would call myself a "marathoner" either ... :)
I TOTALLY know you will do it. You are amazing - you always accomplish what you set your mind too.
You are already an IronWoman to me!!! You've always been.
XOXO
Woot!!! Can't wait. This'll be good...
