One week

Saturday, July 3rd is next week.  It felt SO far away back in February.

One week from tomorrow is the Triathlon.

EEKS!

I'm nervous, excited, anxious, ready, not-ready, thrilled, scared and everything in between.

I think my hip is healed.  Mostly.  Enough.

I went for a short run this morning and felt pretty good.

I feel a little out of shape and I'm still not back to normal after the course of Prednisone I was on (not only am I 6-pounds heavier than I was two-weeks ago, but I still get funny "revving" of my heart rate and bouts of "fight or flight" feelings occasionally).

But... all-in-all, I think I'm ready.

My goal for next week has returned to:  
I just want to finish.

Prior to May 12th I was hoping for a time under 2-hours (maybe 2-1/2), but now I just want to finish in a healthy way (injury free).

That will make me happy.

A million THANK YOUS to everyone who has sent words of encouragement.  Your comments have helped me more than you could ever know.

I'll let you know how it goes.
