Sometimes you wake up early for no good reason and just can't get to sleep again. Today was one of those days for me. I took the day off work today in an attempt to be able to go out and get a long bike ride in. Unfortunately mother nature has decided to be a *$%& again and with the weather being about 4-5 degrees, with rain in the forecast unfortunately I won't be riding outside. I'm disappointed but will most definitely head to the gym for back to back spin classes. It's not the 75-80k I had planned but it is something…
I've spent the last few hours (since I woke up) watching Ironman clips on youtube. I have to say - it really makes me emotional. And to think in a few short months that will be ME… I just can't even believe I'll be racing at Ironman Mt. Tremblant. I mean I know it's coming, I know its going to happen and I know that everyone keeps telling me I will do awesome. But the thought of it is just so overwhelming. To hear Mike Reilly tell me that I am an Ironman - wow… just the thought of it brings tears to my eyes and goosebumps to my skin. I am so thankful for all the people I have supporting me on this unbelievable journey… I'm not even there yet but it's pretty cool to be on my way.
Sometimes I watch these Ironman videos and - try to picture myself out there on race day, smiling and laughing and having a great day. That is my goal really to have fun and to enjoy every moment.
Alright - well I better get moving if I'm going to make it to the gym for double (2hrs) spin :)
