So this is Gettin' After It...and all that life has to offer.  For me, that is the pursuit of happiness, the pursuit of peace of mind, the pursuit of ultimate fitness and the pursuit of experiencing the important things.  It's new to me and I'm going to embrace it.

Gettin' After It is dedicated to having some presence of mind in what I am going to do over the next, at least, 362 days of my life and then beyond.

In 2011, I finished Ironman Florida and it was my first iron distance race.  As much as I remember about that day, I don't!  It dawned on me in talking to another athlete just the other day after watching the 2012 race (as he told me that he saw me out on the course several times cheering for him) that I was so much in the zone in 2011 that I didn't even see my family in the crowd when I crossed the finish because I was so focused on the finish--and not the journey!

I decided that this time, I'm going to have some presence of mind leading up to, during, and beyond Ironman Florida 2013 and the journey it takes to get to the finish!  I am also going to focus on other areas where I'd like to see some change.

So this is Gettin' After It...and all that life has to offer.
