My first blog ever...

Hmmm have you ever had a steady stream of coherent thought as you tried to sleep? Have you ever solved all the world's problems in between desperate attempts to shut off and you know...sleep? And then wrote the best ever blog...and completely forgot it in the morning..

So I'm starting a blog. In the afternoon. Fully coherent. But I intend to post some blogs at those moments where I've completely given up any illusion of sleep. Here I must thank my good friends Michele and Donatelle for coming up and imprinting that awesome nickname on me, which came in useful for my blog name ;)

Where was I? Oh yes. This blog. Finally got round to it. Now, do I keep it nice and light? Do I share the cynical, sometimes bitchy thoughts I occasionally have? Or maybe a bit of both. We'll see. Keep reading to find out.

I suppose I should introduce myself for those who haven't got the slightest clue who I am. My name is Michelle and I'm an aspiring Ironman pro athlete.

There I said it.

I paid the pro licence and I will be racing in the professional category this year at a number of events, the first Maltese person to do so. Is this scary? Yes indeed. Doubts creep in. I wonder often if I really should be in that same group of people that I've admired for so long. Then again, I have to try. You never know what you can do until you really start trying properly. And by properly I mean the discipline to listen, learn and stop avoiding the extra work. And so..my first blog ends as I remember I've been avoiding the dreaded stretch cords, core and foam rolling session....
