Warm Fuzzies

are what I have right now. There are just some plain freakin' awesome people in the tri world, and they can do an amazing job of making you feel pretty good when you are feeling a little down and unsure of yourself.

See Greyhound's ode to me and two other awesome girls (MisheleK and Jane) here.

Thanks to him for enabling me to go to sleep tonight with a big smile on my face, and also thanks to him for bragging on my little rockstar law school friend who wouldn't brag about herself if her life depended on it!

As for training, it is going pretty well. I ran an easy 6 miles at the park last night and it felt pretty good. I've been on my trainer twice this week already (definitely a record) and am planning a lovely 3 hour trainer session tomorrow night in place of my long ride this weekend. I'm playing this weekend, and definitely looking forward to it. My niece Bennett is turning 1 and I'm going to celebrate in San Antonio with her, then I'm heading to Austin to run the 3M 1/2 marathon on Sunday. I'm super excited about the race - it was the first half marathon I ever ran, 4 years ago. I'm also spending the night with Caitlin and Peter in Austin which I'm looking forward to as well. We shall see what my new and improved speedy legs have to offer on Sunday. My half marathon pr is 2:21:59. My splits at the marathon last week were 2:11 and 2:19, so one would hope I will walk away this weekend with a new half marathon pr. This new, uncharted territory stuff is kind of fun!!

It's bedtime (past it actually...). This masters swimming stuff (T/TH at 6am) brings new importance to being asleep before the 10 o'clock news.

Ah, shucks. It costs nothing to be nice, and you definitely deserve the props. I get so much energy from watching folks like you becoming something most people can't even bring themselves to dream about.

Ironman in verse

This is what I wrote and secretly put under everyone's doors tonight: The big day is almost here! Long it will be, but have no fear. You have put in miles and miles And will finish amidst numerous smiles. The hard work is over and done. Now is the time for nothing but fun. May your spirits be high throughout the day, And may nothing come along to stand in your way. Ironman is as much about the journey as the destination, And you will be rewarded for all of your determination. Hand-in-hand we will all jump in, Eagerly treading water as we wait to begin. At 7am the cannon will blast But be sure not to go out too fast. The cool water will run over your face, As you are now committed to the race. The Rural Bridge will seem so far away But keep those negative thoughts at bay. Once you turn around and head west To the Mill Ave. Bridge you go, trying your best. 2.4 miles will be over before you know it, And you will start to realize your thoughts of Iron are truly legit. On to the bike, f...

Getting To Know You

Alright, time for a little "comment love" - a term used in the blogging world meaning, quite simply, "leave a comment!" I can see I have readers from all over the world (look at the little map a little way down on the right), obviously with the highest concentration being from this area, but I don't know who you are! (Most of you at least!). I'd love to know a little about who is reading my blog, what you like what you don't like, where you are from, etc. Anyone can comment at any time - you don't have to have a blogger or google profile. Just click on the "x comments" link below any post (x is the number of existing comments on any one post), then a box will pop up letting you type the comment. If you have a google/blogger profile you can use that, but if not, you can just click "anonymous", but be sure to sign your name or nickname or whatever with your comment. P.S. If you don't want to tell me much about yourself, or I al...
