Week 14 – not perfect, but progress!

June 11, 2016 by Amy Riley Leave a Comment

It's not going perfectly! Yet, I'm making progress. Look at this notebook. It's full of the results, the thoughts, the doubts, the celebrations, and all the work of the first 7 months of Ironman training. Time to get a new notebook! Sunday - Traveled back from Nashville.

(Running in the New Orleans heat and humidity.) I have three more trips in the next 2 weeks. A business partner just asked me to attend a 3-day train-the-trainer session in California in July.
