Well...after a great summer of hard training it looks like Sherrie and I will not be participating in the inaugural New York City Ironman U.S. Championship. We have had a great summer tracking around our swim star daughter and watching her progress and grow as a great competitive swimmer. Our sweating and training will still pay off in a fantastic Ironman Florida in November that we cannot wait for.
This reminds me of my favorite lines from a country song, "Wherever you go, there ya' are." Meaning whoever you are on the inside does not change despite a geographical location. If you are sad, angry, unhappy, in your hometown you would really be the same in Hawaii. So on game day we will be training hot and hard in Tallahassee but we will still be happy, grateful people. We know we are crazy blessed to have our health, each other, great family, an awesome coach, and very cool friends. To be incredibly honest, I am sure we will click on the webcast and have a little wishiness to be doing an Ironman in the Big Apple.
But to also be honest, I know us well and we truly try to live out another one of my favorite sayings and that is, "Bloom where you are planted." So I guess we should apologize to New York City because they will not get to enjoy our sense of taking big joyful bites out of life. But Tallahassee you will get to enjoy another beautiful week with the Peavys!
