"My Tires Are Pumped"

I was supposed to go swimming today but I said screw it.  As odd John pointed out, it ain't gonna make any difference at this point anyway, and quite frankly I was too lazy.  I was probably a wee bit stressed as well because of my pending meeting, but whatever the reason, I have no regrets.

Besides, getting these tires up to 80 psi was a tougher workout that my swim was gonna be.  Thank goodness I have a high pressure pump, but it still takes a lot of pumps, to make a little difference.

But just as importantly I had help!  The best kind of help there is.  The kind that tries hard, has a pleasant spirit, and who appreciates the camaraderie associated with a shared task.

Like I said....no regrets!

And to top off a great day, after we got the tires pumped I went to my meeting which was a 'smashing' success!!  (I learned that word from Sally).  I'm just a wee bit proud of my effort actually, because I know that I use my worries to motivate preparation, and indeed I think I went into it with a good plan.  And I have to give them credit as well.   We had a very respectful discussion, on a very difficult topic.  Hats off to Alysha, Dustin and Mark.  I think we all felt like maybe Sally was watching us.  I know I did.

So tomorrow morning will be Ironman simulation, and then 2 1/2 days to get everything ready.  It will be a full couple of days but I feel so peaceful now, that I'm not in the least worried about it.  I will prepare and pack my IM stuff first, and after that who cares what we forget.  Roo's got a credit card!  So yes, thank you Gail....I'm off to erase the Ironman nightmares forever.  Game on!!
