As I was writing that, it occured to me that your mom and I might be about the same age. I'm 45. I don't have the time, nor the inclination, to train for IM. My goal is 1/2IM, or, as they call it these days, "Ironman 70.3". They should just get honest and call it "Ironman, Or At Least Half Of It". I'm thinking next year for that, and two sprints, two Oly distance, 1 to 2 half-marathons, and possibly the Chicago Marathon this year. That's plenty ambitious for me. I'm awed by those of you out there training for IM. Keep it up!
