Yes - I still need to finish/post IM-USA Race report.
Yes - I will be posting an IM-FL Race report.
Yes - I am definitely happy to be done.
No - I am not happy with my performance at IM-FL, but I'm proud of finishing it.
Yes - I would consider doing 3+ Ironman races in 1 year again, but ONLY if I had the time to devote to training and resting correctly.
Yes - I am currently very tired and burnt out.
Yes - I will be taking time to rest and recover and not go diving into some new crazy endeavor....until 2009 that is! 

THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR YOUR LOVE AND SUPPORT DURING THIS!

BUT A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU TO JENN FOR ALL HER LOVE AND SUPPORT DURING THIS CRAZY YEAR
      THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING SWEETIE!!!!    
25 August 2008 - I know, I know!  Still working on the IM-USA race report, about 50% done
In the mean time check out my 50 State Marathon tracker, use the link in the top menu.

28 July 2008 - Yes.  I completed IM-USA!  
Race report to come within the month (you know me, it's going to be LOOOOONNNGG!)
Hopefully should start training blog later this week, don't know about food.

25 June 2008 - Ooops!  I've been making training blog updates, but apparently not publishing them.  D'oh!  Feel free to catch up now though.
And, yes, I've fallen off the wagon as far as tracking my food again.

04 June 2008 - Wow!  So I've biked 1000 miles in the first 5 months (238, 212, 243, 127, 180) of 2008.
I'm about 200 miles off my goal pace for the year though, and it's obvious my biking volume has suffered since IM-AZ.
However I currently anticipate that June will be ~350 mi and July ~260 mi if I am good 'dooby' and do my workouts.
I might still be able to make my goal of 3500 miles for the year!

28 May 2008 - Returned from Lake Placid training weekend (training updates posted)
 - not sure I can finish the bike in time on race day -
Food logging WILL return effective 1 June (my weight is way too high again)

20 May 2008 - Ironman Arizona Race Report is DONE!!!  (Warning:  It is LONG!!!)

13 May 2008 - STILL working on IM-AZ RR - few more days (I hope)
Was diagnosed with a severe Vitamin D deficiency - could explain my recent fatigue and malaise.
Hope to be back to my normal self soon, including DOING workouts and then blathering on about them here!

08 May 2008 - Hoping to restart Food logging next week - just mentally burned out right now
My goal is to have the IM Arizona Race Report up by 5/13 - 1 month after the race sorry for the delay, be warned though that it is LONG
