The only problem with today is that it's not tomorrow. Other than that it was fine, if perhaps a bit boring. Of course it started out by waking from another vivid dream, about triathlon again, the big difference being that this time it somehow included Sally. Strange but true. And although it was good to see her, it was also a bit sad. I do hope she comes back another time.
"A new chapter has begun. In time, it will get easier. For now we go through the motions of grief. Life moves on. Tomorrow is a new day."---Katherine (Sally) Steel
And I spent most of my day doing dick all. I did have a decent bike ride, putting in a significantly better effort than Odd John. What I liked most about my effort was that I managed to keep my heart rate up the whole ride. When I'm over-tired this is very hard for me to do on the bike. I consider that a positive sign.
I also cleaned the driveways, and then did a bit of shopping, which brings me to part one of why I'm so looking forward to tomorrow. Although I sometimes forget it, I have many things to be grateful for, but not many things that classify as miracles. Tomorrow one of them turns 9 years old!!
And why do I single Ky out as one of the few miracles in my life? Well you may not know that until the moment she was born, Kylie was supposed to be a boy. I like all the boys I got, whether children or grandchildren, but our little girl is somehow special to me. She's one of a kind.... in more ways than one!!
Part two of the significance of tomorrow is that it's gonna be colder than hell. They say minus 20, with a wind chill of minus 30. But the sun is supposed to shine, and the winds are supposed to be moderate. A perfect day for running!! I can't wait, but I may anyway...until it warms up to minus 18 or so!
And I have to explain the shot I took at Happy Odd John. I'm sure I told you that he is training for the same Ironman as me, and so we now have another special reason to stay in touch other than the fact that I love him like a brother....oh wait....he is my brother!! Anyway, we recently started sharing our workouts on a website called Garmin Connect. We can see all the other guys data, including time, pace, distance. heart rate, etc. There's even an interactive map showing exactly where we ran/rode. Very, very, cool, or as John would say. "Groovy". And actually I've been using the site for years, but John just figured it out recently. I don't think he's too computer literate?
And Elly my nose is not big enough to need it's own pillow! My ears perhaps, but they can share the one with my head. And do you think it would work....the challenge is to hydrate my mouth?

Be not afraid!

If you keep your mouth shut, I still think it will help, as they are significantly connected. Of course, if you don't shut up...I mean your mouth, nothing will help! Borrow Cory's and try it!!
