Opis

Upon learning I had a life-threatening tumor, I reviewed my past wondering if I was responsible for it. What had I done to cause this? What could I have changed? Those facing unexpected health issues often put themselves through such torture, going beyond the "why me" to "what have I done to deserve this?" Before beginning the vigorous training required for Ironman, I consulted a nutritionist and made sure my diet was right. I went to a physiotherapist to check my core muscle strength. I hired a professional coach. I had a complete physical and blood analysis. I knew I had done all the right things. Looking beyond my fear and uncertainty, I was able to begin letting go of guilt and self-doubt. How that horrid intruder breached by defences will forever remain a mystery. My best hope for recovery was to design a plan of action and knew from my Ironman training I could and would do just that. ______ Barbara's inspiration is immense. The power of her passion and desire to dispel any fears in her life makes her an Ironman in the truest sense of the word. Through her training and strong mental attitude Barbara has built a road to healing, a road with a finish line just for her Mike Reilly "Voice of Ironman"
