Another Day

Well I have been very unreliable about bloging. This is harder than I thought. Training is easy. But this is what I want to do, I want to let you experience what I am. So let me back track a bit to Saturday. Valentines Day Feb 14. I met Erin at 8 am and we did the dreaded Beeline Highway. Most of you don't know about the Beeline Highway.This is a road that the Arizona Ironman does loopes on, 3 to be exact. I was on this highway every weekend for 6 month before the race. Just to get to know every bump and pot hole on it. Which I am very sure I learned. So when we pulled up to the Beeline I just about lost it. Never wanting to see it again let alone ride it. But off we went. It was a bautiful day. The sun had just risen and the clouds were puffy cotten balls and the sky was just a blue as blue can be. Off in the distance you could see the Salt River meandering through the desert. One of the things I look for on each and every training day are the gifts that God gives me. It is usually a beautiful sunrise or a full moon on our morning run. God always give us a very special give each and every time we go out. The ride was very uneventful until we hit mile 52 about 3 hours into the ride. I fell apart. I don't think I had enough to eat and I started to fall apart. Food is a huge necessity and you must eat in order to keep going. I thought seeing that we only had about 5 miles to go I could make it to the end of the Beeline. I was wrong. When I finally did eat it was too late and we were just about done. No time for it to get into my system. When we got back to the car I was done. I had a 10 minute brick ( a run after the bike) and could not go. We went to in and out burger and filled up. I felt so much better.
