...let me put on more clothes... :)
One thing I have not been able to prepare myself for is the Texas heat. Tonight at the beginning of my after work run at 8pm... is was 43 degrees outside, and 77 degrees in The Woodlands, TX, and it was 69 degrees on my treadmill. So I layered up, put my hood up and ran. I figure it is the closest thing that I can do to replicating the heat, in addition, of course, to praying that it isn't wicked hot on race day!
I am up against a lot. I know that. I know my training hasn't been perfect. I know my knee is not even close to 100%, I know that Texas is hot and CT is cold.
I also know that I am stronger than all the negative. I know that my mind and body are strong. I know that I have a desire for the finish line that conquers all negativity. I know I will be ready, and I know that there is nothing that I would rather be doing.
Big props to a high school classmate on his third Ironman finish, under 11 hours in Los Cabos. An incredible athlete, an inspiration, and an amazing resource- thank you for your teaching!
Now its my turn to ask you all for help. I am racing for St Jude. Raising money to beat down childhood cancer. Please consider donating, help me make a difference in these kids lives. They have much harder and longer battles than I, this is the least I can do. I would love it if you would partner with me!
