A New Day

Yesterday was supposed to be race day - Ironman Lake Placid.  Yesterday was hard...looking at the time during the day and thinking of where I should have been on the course...remembering my journey...remembering the energy starting each leg of the race...the ultimate feeling of accomplishment of 140.6 miles, all self-propelled!  I still fill with emotion when "Nancy McMahon, you are an Ironman" plays in my head...wishing I could have done it again for Mom!

Today is a new day...a new year.  The day to re-set the clock...364 days until Ironman Lake Placid 2021.  Who knows how this whole year will unfold...what challenges will arise....what triumphs will be overcome?  So many unknowns that I strive to not take my energy down the wrong path.

Focus on patience, what can be controlled and what I hold dear in my life (family, love, graciousness, peace).  Finding the little joys in everyday.  I am blessed with so much and so many people important to me.

As I begin this training cycle I am filled with gratitude...from those I love so dearly, to those who support me on life's journey, to the beauty of the roads, paths and waterways I train on.




Here's to a new journey!  My focus is to find joy in the little things and live in the moment!
