"You kin' do it if you tri"

I have been healthy and active for most of my life. I began running when I was a teen so when I was diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis things changed dramatically. Opening jars, brushing my teeth, and just getting around the house became very difficult. Running was out of the question. I found some relief with medications but there was no cure. Then I began working with a nutritionist. With the help of organic supplements and some changes to my diet, I began to slowly wean off of the medications. Things began to turn around and I felt like I got a second chance at health. I decided to challenge myself to do something I had never done before. I began training for a sprint triathlon. (swim 1/2 mile, bike 17 miles and run 3 miles) Before my 40th birthday I completed a sprint triathlon! What an accomplishment! I did it!
