So it's been at least 2 weeks since I've run. I don't particularly LIKE running to begin with, but I do have to do a marathon at the end of a 2.4M swim and a 112M bike next Sunday. So I'm pretty nervous.
Coach Rob pretty much said, let's make you as comfortable as possible on the run. Which is kind of like saying, your grandmother is not going to make it. She's had a great long life. Let's just make her comfortable.
I mean, really!?
This is how my mind is working these days. I'm pretty much in freak out mode.
And to top it all off, I had just about the busiest day at work I've had in probably a year. It's been crazy around here today. So now I'm freaking out b/c I have an Ironman to do and on TOP of it, I'm going to be INSANE the week before and after. I actually have to come back into WORK on Monday after the race right now. I might come in literally wearing my Ironman shirt.
Can you imagine? Walking into work on Monday: "Hey Kara, where have you been this morning?"
"Oh, I was just driving back from Madison where I did the Ironman yesterday. No biggie. Let's get this show on the road so I can go home and take a nap."
"Wow, you're a badass"
Or maybe it will go more like this:
"Kara, why are you limping so badly? You're a little pale, are you ok?"
"Yea, I'm fine. I just did an Ironman yesterday and I would much rather be in bed or at least at home with my legs up than here for this meeting that couldn't POSSIBLY be at ANY OTHER TIME!!!"
Who knows - either way it's going to be hysterical or inspiring.
