One Clydesdale’s Journey

I’m not sure how to start this, but today seems like the best day to kick things off! If you happen to read this, please bear with me; as I go along I’ll try to be a little more organized in my thoughts.

I say that because today is January 13th and July 13th is right around the corner as far as I’m concerned!

Now I know that July is still 6 months away, but that doesn’t seem like that far off to me now that the New Year has started. That’s because I have already committed to doing my first triathlon this year and that event will take place on July 13th.

Here are a few highlights that I’ll cover in my next few posts;

• What the heck is a Clydesdale?
• How the heck did I get this crazy idea?
• What I’ve done so far to get me to this point.

I don’t plan on accomplishing much with this blog other than keeping a record of how I’m progressing and even sharing some of my setbacks with everyone. If no one reads this other than me, then no big deal. If, on the other hand, I manage to inspire just one person to start training and attempt a triathlon and a little healthier lifestyle, then that would be awesome!
I was actually toying with the idea of doing this when Shelly (my wife) suggested it to me. What makes that so shocking is that I didn’t even think that she knew what a blog was!
She never ceases to amaze me!

I also hope to spice the look of this thing up very soon. I just found a very cool and simple theme which is exactly what I was looking for, along with some great instruction on how to use it. I have my pictures all set and hopefully it won’t be a hassle to get set up.

That’s all for now. Check back soon for more riveting posts!
