Dear FutureMe,

It’s almost time. You’ve been training for this for months. You’re ready, you’re strong, and you’re stubborn. You decided to do this because you wanted to work for something, you wanted the pain. You wanted to feel alive. If this isn’t going to do it I don’t know what will. I know the training has been tough, and I know the course seems bigger than it ever has. Like other people in the same position you’re probably thinking “This seemed like a great idea a year ago”. It was a great idea, and you are so much better for it. In just a short while you will hear the words “You are an IronMan”, and nothing will feel better. Even if you have to walk, crawl, roll, or hop across the finish line I know you can do it.

So relax! Enjoy this! This is what you have been waiting for. And just think: the post race massage will be fantastic.

You are a college graduate. You hold a master’s degree. You donate your time and money to worthy causes.
Pretty soon you will be an IronMan. All of this before you’re 25. I’m so proud of you.

Dear FutureMe,
i hope this reaches you in a better life than were we are now. i hope you have, if not graduated, started down the road of your dream career. i hope the babies are doing well and smart as ever. i hope that we are still married to our wonderful husband and everything has gotten back to normal and even better!
i hope that over all…….. we are still and always will be……..HAPPY!
