About Me

This is the first blog of many and so bear with me while I muddle my way through and work out how this whole blog thing works.  Such as it is, my 13yr old daughter (14 on Wednesday!) taught me how to set up this blogsite.. Technology just blows me away as does what teenagers appear to know.
Anyhow - the meaning of my Blogpage - "A Kidd can do Ironman too".... I am Steff 'Kidd', 37 yrs old, married with 3 children and am about to embark on the biggest and scariest ride I have ever rode in my life.  I am going to do Ironman.  For a moment excuse me while I rundown an extremely watered down history of this madness....
Here's what happened... I made a bold statement a few years back that I was going to do an Ironman before I was 40. It just popped out in the heat of the moment and all because of a chance meeting with an inspirational lady, Jacky James (check out her page - www.ironjack.co.nz).  I hold her personally responsible for this chaos!!  (I love being able to blame others for my crazyness!)  I don't know why I said it... I didn't know how I was going to do it... I sure as hell didn't know when (or with who) - but there it was...  Being a woman of my word, this goal has floated about for the last few years as I had my ups and downs struggling with family life, injury, busyness blah blah blah - excuses excuses!  Funny how I not only am really good at blaming others for my crazyness, but can also procrastinate with the best of them.  If it was a sport, I would be in the finals hands down... So there it is.. My blogs are going to follow my highs, my lows, my short term goals, my long term goals, my successes, my failures, my training, the impact on myself-my husband-my family and probably lots more.  I hope it doesnt bore you to tears and you continue to follow as I hope that others will join my ride and get out there and achieve their dreams/aspirations or long term goals.  Ironman 2014 - Here I come!
