I've also fallen off the wagon since; 'too busy' organising the events in which inspired people can compete. This July however I signed on with Dry July, to raise fund for cancer research; the 'deadly dancer' responsible for both my parents early demise. Your tale will surely drive me back to 'paddling' my Finn ski, and we'll see what happens from there - my MTB is far too unused also. Glad to have you back in the 'Ironman' family! The event awaits - ironically 2010 it its 10th anniverary! Awesome Stephen

With you every step of the way, from a distance, and very much looking forward to this journey! It is vitally important, and it sounds like you're ready to make the changes necessary to bring better balance to your life. Sometimes I feel like the balance for me has switched to be the other way -- too much time focusing on training, fitness, etc. But that may just be "at the moment" as we're 5 days away from IronMan Lake Placid. When that is done, I need to bring it down a notch and pull back on the training hours and enjoy some more time with the family. Best of luck with this journey -- I'm right there with you!

Thanks for sharing such a struggle - or rather a few of them. My respect for you (and I don't know you very well) has grown. I'm glad I follow you on twitter, and am rooting for you - with your running, your health, your relationships (esp. w/ your daughter, as I love my dad so very much), & your business. If anyone dear man in my life wrote something like this, I would never let them fail - I would support them and cheer for them every step of the way. Go, Stephen, go! Cheers, k Wow, Stephen — I’m blown away and speechless by your story.
