Panama City Florida - Ironman November 4th
What an AMAZING week we had with some amazing friends! My husband and I drove to Panama City to support and cheer on our close friend Jason Cannon as he competed in the Ironman. He finished with a time of 11:28. For those of you who don't know what an Ironman is, to put it in simple words, it is beating your body and making it your slave! (I Corinthians 9:27) It consists of a 2.4 mile ocean swim, 112 mile bike ride and then a 26.2 mile run. To experience the Ironman is truly inspiring. The best part....Jason wanted us all to run the finish line shute with him. He said he couldn't have finished this race without his support crew. So when we saw him come around the turn we all joined him in runnning across the finish line! The time away was much needed and some great memories were made!

Jason and Me......you will be hearing a lot about him in the blogs to come....this is who taught me so much about photography and has inspired me to pursue this dream. He not only finished the Ironman but he is also an amazing photographer.
