Why have I started a blog?

I decided to start this blog to keep me honest about my training for Ironman Coeur d'Alene 2011. Since I will have to record all my workouts, knowing other people will see this should make me reconsider skipping a run, bike ride or swim. Also, I want to record this journey. I expect it to be challenging, frustrating and, ultimately, extremely rewarding. I'm ready for the challenge.
