End of my First Ironman Journey

Many have asked since our return from Coeur d'Alene... what about the tattoo? Did we? Are we going to?

Those who asked were recalling my very first blog post in July of 2007 when I stated that I didn't think I was one that would ever get a tattoo until the moment my friend Paul mentioned, "How cool would it be to have an Ironman tattoo on your calf?"

I thought at that time that I wouldn't get one on my calf, but I might get one on my foot.

I was shocked that the thought had even crossed my mind. In order to get that tattoo, I would have to do an Ironman. Could I do an Ironman? Would I really get a tattoo?

Having completed my first Ironman, the question remained after the race... tattoo? I never thought I would do it. But, with a little support it has happened... I now have a m-dot tattoo on my foot.

With the tattoo my first Ironman experience has come to an end.

In light of the fact that the Bay Street Journal originated as my outlet to share my Ironman experience with my family and friends, as well as the fact that I am moving away from Bay Street, the time has come to end the Bay Street Journal.

Rest assured... there is life after Ironman. As I love having an outlet for my family and friends to keep up with my whereabouts, I am happy to announce that I will continue on a new blog, the Grove Street Journal, once I relocate to Mill Valley, California later this month. You will be able to access this new blog at www.grovestreetjournal.blogspot.com.

I thank those who have supported and cheered on my Ironman adventure. I look forward to sharing my life after Ironman with you from Marin County!

The end of a journey and the start of another, I love it. The Ironman was exciting and the stories along the way entertaining. Good luck with the move and I like how the logo matches with the color of your nails:)
