First, I love saying La Quinta. Second, they have a pool and hot tub. Did I mention free breakfast with waffles. And, the most important thing, they welcomed me today with this:
When I drove across country 5 years ago I was a Motel 6 girl. The motels allowed dogs and they always "left a light on for me"; and I was on a budget. Now I just like La Quinta.
I had a tough couple days driving out. Car problems. After talking to Kim and Lyle, I feel better about the situation. Kim told me, "You have one job to do, to finish Ironman. Don't worry about anything else." Aren't sisters and brother-in-law's awesome? They talked me down, off the ledge.
I can do this.
Then I got on my bike. I love that I can breathe at 2,000 feet. (I also don't get winded when I run up the stairs in my hotel) I rode outside of town into the suburbs with manicured lawns and softball games. I rode next to the Spokane River. My 30 minute ride turned into 60 minutes; I felt so good riding.
I can do this.
Tomorrow is a practice swim in Lake Coeur d'Alene. I hear the temperatures is "warm" - 65 degrees. That is so awesome.
I might just do this.
