Right about now I feel like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man. But all that's about to change, bro.

Just about eight months ago Tim opened up his big mouth and announced to his entire family that we were planning to complete an Ironman. I'm not even going to go into all of the different responses that we got (I'll save that for the autobiography that will deliberately be published posthumously). My point is this: we're practically eight months in to this "new year" and we haven't done a single thing. Not. One. Iota. toward achieving this ambitious goal that is weighing down the latest version of our five-year plan. (I mean besides watching the Tour from our couch).

As you probably already noticed, I published a "My Races" list in the left column, just under the Daily Mile widget that will now track my training mileage. I did this not to gloat (because Lord knows that I'll probably fail at all of these, in which case will only result public humiliation, see?) but to scare myself into actually accomplishing these lofty goals. 

So dear internet, please scare me.

Seriously. Call me out on my training. Hold me accountable. Ask me why. Make me squirm.
