My father was a cancer victim and I was an organizer for the Relay for Life here for a few years and ran several marathons with cancer victims and survivor's pictures on my shirt. I did a half Ironman in honor of my brother in law, who at the time was fighting lung cancer. So, this is on my wavelength. thanks again.Miles of the Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295194313811880472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768864484024943517.post-26840804704023762582014-03-27T15:39:33.580-05:002014-03-27T15:39:33.580-05:00Hi Marvin,

The ironman journey is different for all, for some it seems easy, too easy, for some herculean. I have seen people in my team cross the finish line and become an Ironman, people who I would've never believed could do it. Young, old, experienced, inexperienced, injured, healthy and everything in between. My team (GoMitchGo) is a team of athlete and cancer warriors who make our mission to find a cure for cancer and improve the lives of patients...by doing endurance events and fundraising.<br /><br />During my Ironman journey I had multiple injuries (as a result of year of playing rugby, ACL/MCL, meniscus, foot surgery, concussions..you name it). I completed Ironman Cozumel last year. <br /><br />Your story really compelled me to write to you and let you know about our team. Although we are based in Austin, TX we have teams in Oklahoma, Dallas and a few lone wolves in other places. We have amazing coaching, nutritionists, testing...but above all we have a mission and a team. <br /><br />Go to GOMitchGo.com and check us out, reach out to our coach Steve Blackmon. Our motto is "Keep Fighting!" these were the last words Mitchell spoke to his father John Whitaker before passing. These words fuel us at every swim, ride, run, fundraising event and generally in life. <br /><br />We would love to have us join our team and continue your journey.<br /><br />Keep Fighting!<br /><br />AlbertAlberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04650299603182910552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768864484024943517.post-87629385040343278992014-03-27T14:00:46.181-05:002014-03-27T14:00:46.181-05:00Marvin, don't consider it to be "giving u...Marvin, don't consider it to be "giving up". Think of it as preserving your body to go on and do other things! You are a fine Christian man and have much to give to our youth in the way of experiences and beliefs---please consider using that rather than the physical, for I believe you can certainly achieve "Iron Man" in that area!magimoe2@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09261658853148791727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768864484024943517.post-28131110156166485652014-03-17T19:21:27.586-05:002014-03-17T19:21:27.586-05:00I hate to hear that this is the end.

Over the years, I seem to be inclined just to ignore overtraining symptoms and just bury myself in the training. And many times I have paid for the lack of balance, namely the need for recovery. thanks,<br />marvinMiles of the Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295194313811880472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5768864484024943517.post-25428603383106689052013-06-17T14:42:26.794-05:002013-06-17T14:42:26.794-05:00An important message to be remembered always...mak...An important message to be remembered always...making sure those we love know it without a doubt!
