I have decided to try and complete an Ironman. Wisconsin, being my home state, is the only one I have the desire to do. This is my journey for the next 53 weeks before Ironman Wisconsin, 2008.

Yay!! Puddle Jumping!!
Today's run was pretty good, I was happy with it. But the best part, there were still puddles on the Mall!! So, in addition to weaving in and out of tourists, parents not paying attention to their kids, kids not paying on attention to anything but a pigeon/squirrel/running in circles, and people just stopping for no reason, I also had to jump puddles. It was pretty fun.
