"My Guardian Eagle"

Some people believe in angels and while I'm good with that, it just doesn't resonate with me. Perhaps I just don't have enough imagination. So be it.

But when I can see an obvious sign of providence watching over me who am I to ignore it. Sorry about the lack of definition in the picture (my phone sucks) but please take my word for it that this is a full grown bald eagle that we spotted just around the corner on the way to school.  Amazing!



Perhaps you may recall a similar experience I had during my last Ironman endeavour and I choose to take this as a positive omen of future success.  This time was even more special as I had the good fortune to share it with my grandchildren.

Tonite I feel like I need a guardian eagle, as for some reason I am a little nervous about my long run tomorrow.  Possibly because the weather report does not look too favourable, and I do not have an option to skip out, or even to shorten.  Last week I missed altogether so tomorrow is on regardless of conditions!

I did have a satisfying swim today.  Friday is wetsuit day and I was a full 2 minutes faster than last week.

(swim, 2500 metres, 45:17)

  1. Beautiful picture . I believe you are receiving a message or confirmation from your guardian eagle. angels are very creative and work hard for one to take notice they are there for you. ☺
