The path ahead

Well, its official. I have a blog, and I hope that it will serve it's purpose and help me keep in touch with everyone. I also figure this will be a good way for me to keep a public record of my goals and aspirations over the next year.

First off, Rebecca and I just reserved our spots for the '09 IM WI. After spending the entire day on Sunday being a spectator, I am super excited to participate. Our heavy training will most likely start in January sometime, and the race will be 9/13/09. I will also post our racing schedule, which will begin with a run in May. As for my goals in this race: if the weather is ideal I want to be under 12 hours, otherwise I want to finish in the top half of my age group (which took under 12 hours this year!)

I will also be posting reports from the medical school front. I currently have three interviews lined up: GW next Tuesday, UNECOM on 9/30, and Boston University on 10/8. This process has already been draining, as I have now submitted 30 secondary applications out of the 35 schools I applied to. I have not heard anything back from most of the other schools, but will keep a list of the progress posted.

I look forward to keeping everyone posted on my progress toward becoming an Ironman and a medical student!
