Dear Friends and Family, Its Saturday night and Im relaxing watching football with my best mate Glue, Shelby and Jon. My gear bags are checked along with my bike, I am well hydrated and am excited about my big day tomorrow. I want to thank each and everyone of you for you contributions to my fundraising goal of $5000 for Smile Train and my fitness goal of losing 70lbs since the first of the year. In total, I raised over $6000 and have lost 51 pounds. Now, I understand that I made a commitment to lose at least 70 and I WILL! I think I was a bit too zealous but I have also learned that 70 is a lot for 11 months. If anything, I found my passion for exercise and coming back to my roots when I was the happiest. With that, I think I made my goal as well as a number of positive changes in my life. So thank you to all of you for your love, support, encouragement and positive reinforcement! Although I am going to the start-line under-trained from what I wanted to be, I am NOT over-trained, therefore already tired AND not injured as a year ago I had a broken sternum! I will make it fun, smile, perhaps cry and swear a bit but will be happy to doing what Ive done for 30 years. And as always doing my best to make people laugh on the course. If you are out on the course on race day and see me on the run dont be afraid to say, DEAD MAN WALKING!. I will remind me that Im still alive and going towards a better place! If any of you are still interested in donating you can go to my personal page and contribute and I will still get credit for my efforts. Last night I was at the opening ceremony for Ironman and I truly felt my accomplishments and saw more videos on what a difference in life yours and my efforts and contributions make to children in great need of a better future. Because no one likes and ugly smile!!!!! You can also track me on the web at ironman at the athlete tracker. My bib number is 595. If you have high-speed Internet it may not work as I will be going to slow! Have a great Sunday and thank you again for all your love! And KEEP SMILING! Gerald
