#8

I am #8 for Ironman Coeur d'Alene...Numbers came out this morning, and I have been assigned #8. It's 1 off from the luckiest number in the world, so I'm hoping that's a good sign!

Honestly though, I'm not a big superstitious-type. I tend to believe I have all the control on whether the race goes well or not. Of course, bee stings and flat tires are tough to control.

Today was a fairly light to moderate day. AM run of 75 mins, with 5x3 mins at HR cap of 160 bpm, with 3 mins easy, then 3x1 min FAST, with 2 min easy jog. With warm-up and cool-down, totalled 75 mins.

This afternoon was on the massage table with my mentor, Kevin McCarey. Good session. Body is looking good for the race.

My site should have a store up soon, where you can get some of my killer t-shirts, if you're wanting one. If it's not up this evening, check back soon! The t-shirts are the "Heartrate Monitors Can't Rate Heart" and "Keep an IV bag of champagne waiting".

Tomorrow is my birthday, so I'll be preparing a big blog entry for it! Lots of thoughts and opinions on some things. Of course, I have 3 workouts tomorrow, so who knows?
