Seattle Danskin Triathlon 2010

Way to go! That is so awesome! You have no idea how inspriring you are to me. Perhaps I can channel your enthusiasm and start running more. Congratulations!!!!!

Wonderfully inspiring! Thanks for sharing. I am getting up to go run tomorrow! I live in a part of Hawaii where everyone around me is a triathlete. I'd like to get into good enough shape to start kite surfing.

What an accomplishment! Congrats :)
What a testimony in later years to your children. You have shown them it is important to take care of-and take time for-yourself. A great lesson to learn!

How great
You sounded like you had a great time
well done

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT YOU MANAGE TO PACK INTO YOUR DAYS ITS AMAZING AND DEPRESSING ALL AT THE SAME TIME
GOOD ON YOU

Awesome!!! Congratulations on your achievement!!
I would love to do something like this, but I detest swimming, and I would drown (I am not kidding).

so glad you went and DID IT! I have started and stopped so many times and I LOVE reading stories of doing it and they are such inspirational stories! Keep them coming!

Congratulations on an inspiring accomplishment. I am especially impressed with the swimming part, as I am a terrible swimmer - otherwise I'd love to take part in one of these events. Also, I appreciate your focus on fitness and NOT on weight loss as I think it sends to all your readers a very balanced, healthy message. Weight loss seems to have followed along in the process (you look great, fit and strong) but it's very nice not to have it be the front and center of your blog. Women can get so skewed in their own body images that it all becomes just about a number on the scale. Keep up the great work!

Congratulations!

Ali, this is just totally awesome, many congrats, you did amazing! And thanks for sharing it all with us too.

That is amazing! Congrats and thanks for being a wonderful inspiration!

Amazing job - Congratulations! I also applaud you for taking the time to focus on YOU!
Blessings...

I'm choked up reading this. So happy for you Ali! So inspiring for others. You might even have convinced me to do the same.
