April threw another one in there today - I don't have time for negative thoughts. I love it! Move over negativity, PMA is moving on in. :)
As we recounted our journey to Galveston for James over an amazing dinner at Saltwater Grill, it was just really amazing how much positive energy surrounded us on the way. In every state, people wished us luck. Not surprising, as we drove through LA and MS and AL and GA, we kinda stood out with our two bikes sitting up top of the HTFU wagon. It started in GA with a question at the gas pump - you girls must ride a lot (yep, we're actually on our way to a race) and do those wheels really make a difference (yep they sure do)..and as he pulled away in his beat up truck - 'good luck baby!'. And just about every stop after, and believe me as good hydrating athletes there were plenty'o'stops, we got a 'good luck!' And then there was the room number/race number 'coincidence' (see last night's blog); and our run this morning in Biloxi before we hit the road - with no intentional effort, we came to a stop at the hotel door having gone exactly 3.33 miles. (3 is my lucky number). It was just a great trip all around! ... and yes we are buying lottery tickets tomorrow!
And here is what greeted us as we walked into our home for the next 5 days, hanging above the kitchen threshold:
Couldn't be more appropriate!!
And so here we are, in Galveston, ready to race. Pretty sure we saw Tim O'Donnell in the Kroger as we picked up some groceries tonight. Cool. Now we are headed to bed. We are 5 so far, with two more to come tomorrow. Should be great.
PMA my friends. That is what it is all about. Be it triathlon, or Life ... positive mental attitude is where it's at. Here's to a continuing increase in PMA, to culminate on Sunday.
Happy Training
