I don't know how many out you have ever heard of something called an Iron Man, at least I know I certainly didn't until my dad started training for half of one. A Half Iron Man is one of the toughest, long-distance marathons in existance. It consists of a 1.2 mile swim, a 56 mile bike ride and a 13.1 mile (marathon) run. To put it in perspective, to finish this race properly with months and years of training, a good time would be eight hours....EIGHT HOURS! Which is why I am especially proud of my dad for completing it, (and in just under eight hours ;), don't be decieved by the time on the clock ). So in his honour, and mine, I have started running again. I'm really enjoying it so far, and starting slow. I'll keep you updated how it goes. What do you think your greatest achievement is? Or what has someone you admire achieved?
