I know that I can do this......

I have to keep reminding myself of this. My training is going well. I am still nursing some pretty severe shin splints, so I run for small amounts and have just amped up the swimminug and the biking. I feel great.. Ok, maybe not great. everything aches. Every Monday when I do a cardio weightlifting class, I mentally quit the race halfway through the class. But yesterday I kept saying to myself...this is not that bad, this is not that bad. I looked at the times from last years race and it appears the times I had given myself for finishing in my head were at the very bottom of the finishers. I am not looking to win it, just looking to finish.

I rode 9 miles on Saturday and felt great but then thought to myself as I was getting off my bike, now imagine running into the transition area, putting down your bike and running 3 miles at a pretty quick pace. That's when the panic hits.....Swimming, then biking then running. My legs I think are staging a mutiny!

But back to the positive..... Where did that go? Oh yeah, positive....... crossing the finish line, accomplishing this goal, doing it for TEAM BISSON! And another goal I jokingly told Simon.... "Have you seen all the adorable clothes at Gazelle?" (our local running shop)

***And the obligatory photo, since according to Simon all posts need a picture...... One of my favorites, and their little faces drive me to be better ever day. This is picture is an oldie but goodie.
