Twenty days from now I’ll be racing Canada!  It’s so close.  I can’t wait.  And I’m so thankful that my mom and two of my friends (Rey and Erin) will be making the trip.  I want to do well for me and for them.  I want a fun trip and a good day.  I want to be cross that finish line and fall into a line of hugs and go to bed feeling strong and well.  I can’t wait.

Speaking of can’t wait, I have my first session with Christina tomorrow morning.  I’m actually nervous!  I’ve got all kinds of training and numerous races behind me but the thought of an hour with the little powerhouse I met last week makes me equal parts excited and nervous!  It’ll be fine, right?  She may kick my ass, but it’ll be in a good way, right?  Right? 

Cross your fingers.  Say a little prayer.  On both counts.
