On the road again..and donation update!

Hey everybody!

Well, it's been a busy but awesome week.  It started with a long bike on Sunday with my better half/training partner/manager/best friend/Katie. This is a big deal because we are never able to ride together anymore since we had Benny. Apparently you can't leave him in his crib for hours at a time unattended or you can get in trouble. Noted. But luckily we had visitors who were kind enough to watch him. (Thanks Dad and Patty!)

Then, Tuesday and Wednesday, I got some good swims in. Shorter distances, but good pace. And by good pace I mean embarrassingly slow, but good for me. We also went on a family run on one of those days, where I pushed a twenty pound man child through the hellish Middle Georgia heat. Not fun. But I'm a firm believer in the old quote regarding endurance sports, "It doesn't have to be fun, to be fun." In other words, I'm a crazy person.

Then on Wednesday I had the honor to meet with some awesome folks at The Methodist Home. We don't have the donation page up just yet, but here is how it will work.

Want to sponsor a mile? $10. Any mile you want. First mile, last mile, mile twenty on the bike, mile ten on the run, whatever you want!

Here is where it gets fun.. Want to help create more triathletes? 

$100 donation will buy a bike

$50 donation will buy a sweet pair of running shoes

$20 donation will buy swim equipment

I know, pretty fun, right?

There will also be an option to donate a dollar amount of your choice.

So, that's it for now. I knocked out a run in Jacksonville, racing a sprint triathlon in Macon on Saturday, and hopefully a long run in Las Vegas on Sunday. I will be spending a couple days out west on business. I'm super pumped to run in some new areas, though! But you know what they say, "What happens in Vegas, will have an impact on your triathlon training in the weeks to come; so don't screw it up." I'm pretty sure that's how it goes.

That's a picture from my run in Jacksonville. Not too shabby.

Until next time!
