9 Days and counting!!!!

Only 9 days until I complete my very first triathlon!! WooHoo!! To say I am excited would be an understatement. I have spent a lot of time training. This has been my work out schedule for what seems like forever:

Monday- one hour of weights in the morning, swim instruction in the evening
Tuesday- one hour of spin in the morning
Wednesday- one hour of weights in the morning, one hour of running in the evening
Thursday- 45 minutes of swim in the morning
Friday- 45 minutes spin and 15 minutes weights both in the morning

Those have been my definite training times. Add to that the normal being outdoors with three kids (aka biking while pulling 120 + pounds) and I have been getting a lot of extra exercise as well.

Physically I am ready; mentally I need to spend some time in prayer. Ya know how you get yourself all excited about something and then you get nervous and then you get excited again and then nervous…and it goes on and on. That is what I am dealing with right now. I love the excited moments, not to fond of the nervous times. So I am going to spend extra time casting all my cares at the feet of the Father. I know from experience that only He can give me true peace and joy.

Aside from the triathlon in 9 days, Aaron and I have a grand adventure in just two days!! We will be completing a 67.5 mile bike ride on Saturday!! We are both really excited and can’t wait to get away together.

Hope you are all having a great day!!
