Ironman and Charles' Mom

So, the annual Ironman takes place here in Coeur d'Alene, ID next Sunday...the same day I fly out. Little did I know that this small resort town is host to this legendary event every year. The atheletes have started to arrive and it's easy to spot them- super dark tans, slim bodies, usually wearing a bathing suit or running shorts and little else. I remember watching the Ironman on TV when I was a kid and thinking how tired they must be at the end. The endurance it must take to swim, ride a bike, and run for miles! So, here's to those brave men and women who will be competing next weekend. You are our true physical superheroes! PS.... I met Ellen Travolta yesterday! She is on the board of Coeur d'Alene Summer Theatre and performs in productions from time to time(She's performing in the next show, The Full Monty). Quite a lovely woman! I couldn't help but internally hum the Charles In Charge theme while I was chatting with her!
