Energised!

What a start to the day.  I gave my Mission Ironman talk to the Institute of Directors meeting in Glasgow at breakfast and the energy in the room was buzzing.  When you are talking to successful people there is generally a high level of energy but once they understood the secret to "achieving results beyond your wildest dreams", a five step process, the energy was tangible.
That set me up for a great day and in my 2 hour run later on I ran the fastest I have for a long time over that time period.  I covered just over 15 miles with a pace of 7mins 54 sec per mile.  Considering the hilly course this was a good time.  I was also trying out the clothing I hope to be using in Lanza.  It gave me a bit of chaffing but as long as you know this you can take precautions and after a wash the fabric should be more forgiving.  As I've said before you leave nothing to chance and NEVER wear new gear on race day.
So hopefully after today's IOD meeting there will be individuals setting themselves some stretching goals and using the five step plan to help achieve them.  Good luck and enjoy the journey.
