Hurry up already
I feel like a kid waiting for Christmas. July 18th and my 70.3 triathlon can't get here quick enough.
I don't expect it to be easy, and actually I think I'm under trained on the run. I plan to suffer on the run (I haven't been putting in the long miles lately. Seems I always have an excuse). I have done the swim and the bike, I know the course and as long as I stay within my limits and don't get caught up trying to race everyone else the swim-bike should be just another day. I just don't get any enjoyment from running. It's still a struggle to get out there and run every day.
I have been working towards this event for more than a year now, and frankly I'm so burned out on it that I have 0 motivation to work out.
I just want it to be here already.
Just needed to vent that out.

The first time you do something - It's going to be a personal record!
Wow Scott, while you're doing your ironman, I'll be walking my very first half marathon. I'm nervous, but just the thought of what you're doing will inspire me to keep going! Thanks for being such an inspiration.
Good luck!

Good luck!

Good luck, Scott! I'm glad you're over your injury and are able to do the race. I'm with ya on the running. I do some interval walk/jogs on the treadmill, but other than that I just do other stuff. Hope you do well on the 18th!

Scott, you will do great!!! I have read your posts and like so many others on here, you have motivated me to get out there and try new things, way out of my comfort zone. So while you are running, you should be thinking about how many people you inspired to just get out there and start moving!!!! Good luck and I will be thinking of you!!!
