Who is this?

My good run continues..After being sick as a dog (for about 9 hours) after my 4500 yd swim on Saturday, I did SF century on Sunday, then a 3 hour run on Monday. Now all I have to do is do it all in one day (and then some)!

Speed run workout today. My legs still feel strong! I do not know who has inhabited my body but I am hoping it is some 30 year old amazing triathlete that will take me to the finish line of IMCDA.

I love this part of Ironman training when people start to ask if you are losing weight. To which I seem to inevitably feel the need to say Oh it's only because I am training for an Ironman. As soon as it is over, I will back to fighting this last 10 lbs again! I think I will just start saying Thank you!

I am truly starting to trust Mark Allen and my Coach Luis that maybe, maybe I will actually finish IMCDA feeling fairly decent. That is my goal. To smile and feel decent at the end..It would also be really great if I finished in the top half of my age group (not the 30 year old one)..

    I had a great week last week... but today, my long run nearly killed me. My legs felt SO heavy...

    I'm READY to taper :-)

    All in one day (except the sick for nine hours part!!) and feel good at the end. Sounds like a big goal but you're already so close - you'll smash that goal!

    Now I know you are ready! Great job! I guess as long as you keep at it, eventually things start to come around.

    Your training volume is crazy. I can't wait to 'track' you at CDA. I'm sure you'll do great.

    Very inspiring. :)
