"Slow But Steady Wins the Race"

I think that's good advice for Ironman and for life.  Unfortunately for me, I don't take advice.  I tend to live in spurts.  This past weekend for instance.  I should have taken a day or two longer to do what I did, cause now I'm paying for my impatience.  I have pretty well been on the shelf since I got back.  Not just am I tired, but for some reason my lower back is killing me.  The culprit I suspect is a Sunday morning ride in the rain, followed by 11 hours in the car.

Anyway....just this evening I am starting to feel a bit more energetic and hopefully my back is 'back' by tomorrow.  I'm supposed to run the 36 kms that I did not run in Mont Tremblant.

And special birthday wishes today for two of the oldest people I know....my oldest son Peter (34), and my oldest sister Cory (34 and then some).  I happen to know they had a chance to briefly visit together today, which pleases me to no end!
