Three months to go, three mantras to recite:

"Pain is temporary. It my last a minute, or an hour, or a day or a year. But eventually, it will subside, and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever." - Lance Armstrong

"Pain is weakness leaving the body." - U.S.M.C.

(An oldie, but still a goodie...)

"What I want to be, I am now." - Roosevelt

P.S. Pics from Honolulu oceanside ride, sunset surf and sunrise ascent to Diamond Head attached.

P.P.S. Eat, sleep, breathe, Ironman...
