Recording your goals helps you accomplish them. "WRITE IT DOWN"...an easy concept to understand.  Another thing we can do is allow others to hold us accountable for making your own dreams a reality.  My wife Jenna and I are still learning the fine craft of motivating one another.  It's a delicate task to motivate your loved ones without causing them to feel that you are disappointed in them or that you are criticizing.  We talk about this all the tim and will master the art in the eternities.

In my early twenties I realized that I wasn't going to live forever.  I tore my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and underwent surgery to replace it with a bit of my hamstring.  In the 4 years i've been married I have gained almost 30 pounds.  I'm of average health...i'm average in a lot of respects.  I'm ok with that.

There's a spirit in all of us that wants to do extraordinary things.  During my knee surgery -in physical therapy, I decided that I would complete an Ironman before turning 30.  Im 29.  This blog is my way of allowing everyone who reads it to hold me accountable for accomplishing my goals, and not just the Ironman.  I have goals for my family, career, personal development and spirituality.

I also recognize the resource this forum could be for my family.  It can be a record of my life, and the lives of my loved ones.  My dad advocates journaling at every turn, and his personal journals represent our family's most valued treasure.  I hope to commit to this outlet in the same way I hope to commit to my goals.  Everyone is welcome and I hope I have something to offer anyone with an interest in tuning in!
