100 Days

100 days until Ironman New Orleans 70.3. At this moment, I am sitting on a plane to San Diego and thinking about the in-flight menu (mmmm…maple turkey bacon sandwich), and simultaneously chewing my nails to the nubs thinking about 100 days.    Yes, 100 days is some sort of eternity of time.     In […]
