I always said I never wanted a tattoo....and never really understood them. But 7 years after my last IM, I got a m-dot tat last night. To me it is a reminder that I can do whatever I set my mind to do. The ironman was not about a grueling 14.5 hr day of swimming, biking and running...the IM was about setting a goal....a stretch goal.....and then for a solid year staying focused on that goal and training my mind and my body to be able to finish the course.

Congrats on the new ink. I have a co-worker who did an ironman in the mid/late 80's and I gave her a 140.6 sticker I picked up after my first full last year. She said to me, "it was so long ago...I almost forgot how special it is." I told her, once in the club, always in the club. The pride you felt then should last forever.... But sometimes a little reminder helps too.

My hunger stays under control well enough throughout the day eating every couple hours but come 9:00 pm I am again craving something sweet and if I don't eat I don't sleep.
