Do you remember that movie "Angel in the Outfield?" where a young boy witnesses angels helping the California Angels win? It even included a very young Matthew McConnaughey.
Well, I have been seeing angels lately. No, they don't look like Christopher Lloyd and no they don't have halos or wings, but they are angels none the less.
When I began this triathlon journey , I knew I would need a lot of support and encouragement. I knew my family and friends would be there for me and they have. You guys are the best!!!
But what I would have never have expected is all the angels that have appeared. First there are my tri angels. People who have taken the extra time to give me the much needed push from doing the hills in Bothell, to finding the motivation for a workout, to sending me some facebook lovin'. Thank you for sharing your love of tri with me!
But the angels that have surprised me the most are the anonymous ones. For these past few weeks, i have been getting words of encouragement from strangers while I bike and run on the Sammamish River Trail. "Looking good." "Keep it up."and my favorite "You go Girl!." At first I thought they were yelling at someone one else, but I slowly started to realize it was me they were yelling at.
Why me? I don't know but what I do know is those "shout outs" always seemed to come at the moments I needed them the most. Coincidence? I don't think so.
They are the angels on the Sammamish River Trail. My angels and I am thank for them and all the other angels in my life.
Now, I just hope all my angels are preparing for next weekend cuz I'm going to need them!!!!
