It’s a good thing we got the run out of the way. It is hotter than a volcano in San Antonio. I wish I was staying the weekend to enjoy it! Phewf!

Lots of stories and laughs to celebrate the finish line (aka Main Street Ale House) of a fun evening ride. These montly rendez-vous with the tri club are a hoot.

And…the anticipation is ALWAYS worse than the real thing. I was sweating bullets about the epidural shot I was to have into my spine. Sounds brutal, doesn’t it?! Well, I was sweating for NOTHING… It was CAKE. Easy. I laughed out loud when they were finished. “Seriously, that’s IT?”
It could be a metaphor for life……..what else am I squeegie about that is keeping me from being in the moment? What else am I wasting energy and time on being afraid of? Hmm…………

There’s something about signing on the dotted line that kicks training up a notch. (Well, that and Warrior Camp.) 
We signed up for the Black Diamond Olympic last night. WoooHOOO!
Had a hard (and fantastic!) brick today. Tomorrow is the epidural injection to see if we can tame the nerve roots. I trust the doc will have limited himself to only 1 cuppa before his steady hand is required for my back. Yeah!

I was hoping to lop into the lake today………but the rain came down again… had to do a bike run on it’s own. No worries though. We had good juju and hit it just right! The rain stopped for us! Yay!

Today was a ‘real’ tri training workout. Yeah! MC had us do 3 sequential mini-bricks, increasing the time on each cycle. Intensity around Level 3ish… Transitions were less-than 1 minute. Legs felt great!

How does the saying go? Can’t go through it, can’t go under it, can’t go over it……… gotta go AROUND it.
Ran into unexpected ‘construction’ on the run this morning. Had to hop fences and forage through brush. (Yes, I suppose we could have turned around….. but what fun would that have been??)

Warrior Training Camp.. wow. Where do I even start….
I have never, ever felt so centered, grounded and strong. I can breathe to my toes. For the first time in my adult memory, I took a breath and filled my belly. I never knew my strength - physically, emotionally and mentally. I am at such a state of peace.
My mind is quiet.
