My schedule is such that I end up running in the hottest part of the day. Yesterday I was hoping for some rain, but it did not happen. My schedule called for 9 miles with the last 15 min moderate, but since I have no idea what moderate is for me, and bc I have a Garmin vanity issue, I messed up the run and ended up running the middle 5 miles progressively harder; I had the sense to take the last few easy. The easy miles allowed me to see these:
And pick them up. And stuff them into my bra.
I have a 4 leaf clover issue. I find them. I don't look for them, I just see them. I collect them. My eye is trained since I use to actively look for them when I was a kid.
Running back home with the clovers in my bra, dripping sweat all over the bike pass, I thought about the Mary and Michelle who are racing for Kona slots this weekend, and about my little sprint tri this weekend. I thought about all the hard work and passion and time that gets put into the triathlon, and the uncertainty of each outcome, the many many things that can come up, the drive and fluidity necessary to end up having a good race (regardless of outcome). Man, I love this sport!

Wow, I am impressed by these 4 leaf clovers! I don't think I have ever seen one!
Good luck this weekend! I also usually wind up having to run during the warmer part of the day for the two days I actually run outside. Of course, because I'm not training for anything right now I just run easier and with Gatorade.
I think the 4-leaf clovers are a good omen!
You sound like you are in the right frame of mind for a great race this weekend. Good luck!
Have a great race, have fun and congrats on this new adventure. I can't wait to hear all about it!
Have a great race this weekend!

Sooo cool about the 4-leave clovers! I have found a few in my life but I always have to look for them and then it's pretty tough still. Well, I say you have extra good luck for your upcoming Tri :).
I've never seen 1 4 leaf clover in my life. You must be a lucky lucky lady.
4 leaf clovers. That's a nice thing to always have an eye for. ;)
What?! Three 4 leaf clovers? that is just crazy. I can't even find one with hours of looking. Are you sure you are not Irish?
if i stuffed those in my bra they would be wilted and brown by the time i got home :)
and hello. 9-10 miles at 2pm, in the summer?!?!? wow, just wow.
Ah, 4-leaf clovers! That reminds me of home and of my youth. Stay cool running at the midday--yikes!
