It's 6:01. I've been up for awhile a little nervous for my first race since last season. I've been working through the positive mental thinking I tell my jr team to use. It's working and I'm starting to feel ready. I have a bit of a worried heart today because my sis-in-law today who is weeks away from having a baby boy, had to stay in the hospital last night. I don't think I've given her proper credit for introducing me to this blogging thing or being a huge part of my coaching inspiration. I had lost some of my triathlon fire last year when Eric and I went to Tucson to surprise Karie who was completing her first triathlon. It was so much fun to watch her race and she did great! Being in the Tucson mecca of triathlon and watching Karie really fueled my fire again which I know lead me to compete in the half-iron last year, become a coach and enjoy where I am in my life now. Karie introduced me to blogging and I now have a place to document and share what I'm doing. So a huge thanks to Karie who is going to be an amazing mom! Even though I'm just running today, I dedicate this race to she and Sam.
I also find it interesting that this morning I was reading in my bible study about Jesus healing in Capernaum. The Lord's healing powers are amazing. I'm praying for Karie and Sam to be healthy and strong!
