Last night I dreamed I finished Ironman. I can remember doing the marathon, which was some kind of multiple-loop affair. My husband, family, friends, all cheering me on. I passed under the big Ironman finish line and felt great. From what I remember, I finished in the 15th hour. Apparently I am a lofty goal dreamer...

I don't usually have such vivid positive dreams, usually I dream about things I'm worrying about and they are conflicting. It was amazing, and I felt great when I woke up. I guess I've been having second thoughts about whether I should be so ambitious with trying half Iron or even international distances this year, or commit to daily coaching/training. This morning, after I woke up, I started thinking about what it would take to actually do it, and thinking "why shouldn't I?"

I wish I could send a copy of my finish line dream to all of you who are actually Iron training.

Someday...
