140.6 Smiles: It Was More Than Just Crossing the Finish Line...

Overview

2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike and 26.2-mile run = 140.6 miles. It's called Ironman. I completed two of them in my mid-thirties. At the time, I thought it was just another fitness goal I set for myself. And, yes, it's definitely a huge fitness goal, but 20 years later as I look back at this accomplishment, it was not about crossing the finish line at all. Both the physical and mental strength it took to train for, as well as complete, actually provided me with the physical and mental strength I needed when I found out I had cancer in 2013, as well as learning my husband's cancer was terminal in 2020. I will share what I learned during this part of my life, other than just swimming biking and running 140.6 miles, and how it equipped me for my future self.

Author Information

I did Ironman at age 36, survived cancer at age 45, and became a widow at age 52. Now I am an author and podcaster, writing and talking about my life, love, and loss. I share my experiences and what I do to find purpose; if it helps even one person in this universe, then my heart will be full. I had the most amazing husband a girl could ask for; we had a fun and adventurous life for 30 years, filled with a ton of memories that make me smile. I have an incredible family, including twelve nieces and nephews who all have a special place in my heart (they told me I am vibrant, fearless, cool, outgoing, resilient, and thoughtful). I am also blessed with an abundance of the coolest friends on this planet. I enjoy being active - from cycling to yoga. I also enjoy just bumming around in my Jeep Wrangler with the top and doors off on a sunny day. But most of all, I truly live for spending time with my friends and family creating memories that will last a lifetime.
