My son showing off his shirt we made to wear for my WifeIt's hard to express just how proud we are of her, my wife is my biggest inspiration. She can do what ever she sets her mind too. To swim, bike & run 70.3 miles in 8hr 41 min the last 6 miles of the run walking with her feet full of blisters in pain but never giving up her dream of finishing. She is a special person & I hope this can inspire you as it has us. Check out Ironman New Orleans 70.3 web site go to Athlete Tracker her bib # 3108.

Oh man. I did not get a blister, but when I ran the 50 miler that I did, my foot was getting pretty darn hot right there where her blister is. I bet that hurt but the coolest part is that despite that blister you pushed on. You made it to the finish, and even more awesome is that you made it to the starting line. For that is the greatest victory. There is no finish when there is not start. Great job and thanks for sharing this. I love it.!!! :)
