Interesting, me a motivational speaker? Really?
Tonight was another step in the short history of The Fitness Buddy.
A friend of mine, James Small asked me to have a nutrition talk with his Boy Scout troop (a bunch of 9 year olds). It was great and I hope some of the things we talked about will sink in at sometime in their [...]
The Road to the Ironman – Jim Ristow You Are An Ironman! – The final recap
How does one recap something that was such a huge part of one’s life for a long time?
Looking up at the clock and I see it is 10:15 pm, that would mean in twenty short minutes a week ago I became an Ironman. So that would place me somewhere near the 25 mile mark, I [...]

The Road to the Ironman – Jim Ristow you are an IRONMAN
Can I describe my Ironman experience in one word? You bet I can! That word PERFECT!
How often does one in a lifetime get to experience perfection? From the weather, to my family (aka sherpa’s), to friends, to those who followed my online and to the most picture perfect finish one could ever hope for, [...]
The Road to the Ironman – The Ironman
Well everyone the day is finally here!
What a journey this past year has been. I entered the year journey just thinking I was going to do a 140.6 mile race, as it turns out the journey turns out to be more than expected. Sure the race is the cherry on the ice cream sundae, but [...]
The Road to the Ironman – 1 DAY LEFT!
Hello everyone,
Well the time is almost here. It is the day before the Ironman. Kim and I arrived around noon on Friday and it has been non stop action. Sometime after the race I will be sending out pictures of the experience and there are some funny ones on how much stuff I brought for [...]
