Victorious

I would jump up and sing a song right now, if I could get my rear off the couch. I did it! I mustered the gumption to get out in the uncertain weather (read: wind) and did my brick...all 60 miles of the ride and 13.5 of the run. I can't say I felt awesome, in fact, it was probably one of my most mentally challenging workouts to date. After the first 30 miles, I came home for a pitstop, to dump clothes and get more water. I was secretly hoping Eric would say, "You really should come inside, it is much too dangerous to be out there in these conditions." No, instead he said, "I know it's hard, but it will make you stronger." Of course he was right. I knew I needed to bust this out...outside. What if race day is windy? There's a good chance that it will be, for sure.

Now, I am pooped. I have no idea how I will get myself upstairs to bed...or my kids for that matter. I am soooo pleased it's over! Swim tomorrow? We'll see.


P.S. It was the most beautiful day EVER! I cannot believe the shades of green I saw today. God is so good and I am so glad to be a participant in it today.
