Airport blogging

Gal pal Suzy and I are sitting here in the airport, the first of many in our travels today. Final destination = Penticton! The weather there is superb right now and Sunday should be a good day. Let's talk about goals - of course number one is finish. Number two is let's pr on the run. I want a marathon time more in line with an open run time. Number three ( cant help but dream here) swim, swim swim!
Of course the overall GOAL is to have an awesome experience with friends and everybody have FUN. Then recover and get after it for a Big Time in 12 weeks. More to come. Keep your fingers crossed too that I continue to feel better. Monday morning had me waking up stressed!

The Plan

T minus 18 days. Canada is right around the corner. Can I get a woot woot?
So after some soul searching with regards to my last post, I went and did the obvious. Yep, hired BSC as my swimming guru. This may be one of my best investments yet. I didn't have to think very hard about who could back up what they preach! And yes, lovin it so far.
I am not expecting any miracles in Canda but I am for Arizona. I am counting on it.
I am wanting BIG things to happen. I have a bet with a certain someone, who should I beat his best time, will come out of retirement and race again. That means I want to take an hour off my best time. What?
But Penticton is next up, it is going to be an adventure. Again, no sherpa going but am going with gal pal Suzy who is going to rock her 2nd IM! She has been at it for one year. Details coming. Again, off to bed. Where does the time go?
