Oh Yes!!! It is finally hear. OCTOBER!!!!
What a great time of the year. I look forward to October every year. There are just many awesome things gong on this time of the year.
All of he great Fall Marathons are in October, Chicago being my personal favorite. You see Mary and I first got to know each other at the Chicago Marathon. If it wasn't for the fabulous fall weekend who knows if we would be together today!! Hawaii Ironman is in October, and is the pinnacle of the Triathlon world, the greatest Ironman athletes in the world show up in Kona for 140.6 miles of total hell on earth. Temps in the high 90's, humidity to match, and winds of up to 60mph. Not bad if you are going sailing, but hell if you are covering 140.6miles with nothing but your own body power and strength!!!
October also brings us the baseball playoffs and the World Series, which have always been very near and dear to my heart and always will hold a very special place inside me!!! Go Reds!!! Shit maybe next year (again)!!!
October is the month my one and only child was born (Megan), it is so fun to see her light up on October 1st, knowing her birthday month is finally here!
In addition the weather finally starts to break and in Arizona we have made it through another summer and can look forward to 7 months of near perfect days and nights, while the rest of the country, especially our families start winterizing the houses and getting the snow blowers ready for a long, cold, dark winter!!! Did I mention COLD!!! Ha! I lived in Wisconsin for 15 years, I know cold.
Now this time of the year finally means that here in Az we are only about 7 weeks away from our Ironman race, for Dan his 3rd Ironman of 2008!!!
This is gonna be the one that makes next October even more special than most of the others. I will be in Kona next October (Fingers Crossed)
Stay tuned.....
