The good ones start with, "Once upon a time...

Where should we begin?

This is me one year ago - I had everything that ever I wanted.

I was registered for my first Ironman triathlon, planning my dream vacation to Nepal, and spending a long weekend with the man that I have loved since college.

How things change... my Ironman is on May 19, my vacation to Nepal has been cancelled, boyfriend broke his neck in a biking accident and my heart in a relationship accident.

I have seven weeks of vacation, a life in crumbles, and a lot of muck to muddle through.

So, I ask you - will you go on this adventure with me over the next few months?

Will you hop in the car with me and ride to Texas in my attempt to become Iron?

Will you pack up into my Jetta with my two dogs, a tent, and a sense of humor (because I have no sense of direction) to traverse the US on a grand adventure?

I warn you: there will be rehashing, rebuilding, and rediscovering.  I cannot guarantee no tears, but I will promise at least a few good laughs along the way.  

Here I go.  Travelling across America, hoping to be set free.
