As the song says, "I've seen fire and I've seen rain." During this first 10 weeks of Ironman Texas training, I have sweltered in the heat and yesterday had to deal with dust and now rain and cold. I have bonked at the pool because the water was so hot and chilled in the same pool yesterday because the water was so cold. Through these 10 weeks, I have logged 206 running miles, 1114 biking miles, and over 11 swimming miles; all not great but incrementally a step up from the weeks previous to the training start. It has been a good run of it. I am blessed. No matter how this turns out
"I wouldn't take nothing for my journey now."
What's next? A step up in volume as I wander off into areas more out of my comfort zone. The true testing of my will, and my spirit, and ultimately my faith, are yet to come. But there is a wry smile on my lips and I just have this great feeling that no matter how it fleshes out: God is saying "face it. I am with you."
