What a hilly course, this ironman training. I just can't hold a pace anymore it seems with training. The day to rhythm is captured then lost. I suppose it could be a lot of personal issues competing for my energy and passion. And, sleep hasn't been that good. Sleep is always a big if.
And last night I had a dream. In the dream I was in the presence of someone and having a serious discussion with them. The face of the person I was talking to was not revealed, but something in that presence made me think it was my Dad ...who has been dead for 38 years. Scary stuff and a bit weird, I know. But the presence ended up conveying that I should not do the Ironman in April. What?
When I woke up it was hard to get real again. Could this be a real warning? Could this be some sort of sign that something bad is going to happen, or that it isn't the best use of time, energy, and resources at this time? Is this a spiritual sign or was it just a crazy dream? I am going to have to pray some more about this one.
I wouldn't be completely heartbroken if I did back out. There are so many other issues concerning my wife's health and other things, that I need to spend more time on. I had been hoping to get this done and then take care of business, but perhaps, who knows? Like I said I will pray have to pray some more about this I sure would like some sort of sign and I have asked for one already. Now, patience Marv. Wait and trust.
I have already had runs at this ironman thing many times over the years, and have written about my ironman journeys in life in a recent book. Maybe it it time to close the book on ironman with "The End." I will have to pray some more on this one.
A Day Unlike Any Other Day. https://booklocker.com/books/12152.html.
Time to go to bed and perhaps - dream again.
