Couple of notes before we talk off for Des Moines...- Positive thoughts going out to my boy, Chuck, who is taking the day off to swim around Key West. Not just your average day at the beach... this is a 12 mile swim. Check out the website. He is gearing up for the English Channel swim this August. This is a big test. He started swimming around 9 AM EST. I talked to him last night and he said there were 11 solo swimmers giving it a shot. I am sure he will do great. Looking forward to Sunday afternoon by his pool swapping our weekend war stories.
- It's my sister's birthday this weekend. You know you are a self-centered athlete when you get you sister up at some ridiculous hour on her birthday so she can watch you doing silly sporting events. Hey, it's all about me people (see link). She is turning 24 (?), and while the rest of the world may have figured it out a few years ago, she has matured into quite a special woman. Happy birthday Patricia.
- Cub-Sox Part 1 is this weekend. Despite losing a few games in a row, the good guys haven't given up much ground to the evil cardinals in the NL Central. That is all fine and dandy, but for the next three days no one I know really cares about the NL Central. Let me sum up my feelings on the subject: Sox suck.
- Better now than later in the year, but I am a little annoyed with the Cubs articles reading like medical reports.
- Not only is this the weekend of the Redline Classic, the FL Swim for Chuck, Patricia's Birthday, Dave's Next Attempt at Drowning... it is also the weekend Mo and Coach meet Jane and Craig (aka WND Gal's Parents). Very exciting indeed. Melissa and I agree, they are so much alike. I am sure they will get along great.
- There was an article today linked in Daily Triathlon with 10 Tips to Keeping Up Your Relationship While Being a Self Centered Endurance Athlete (I might have improved the title a bit). I was going to link it, but the article was really bad. It had me going until one of the tips basically recommended that you don't cheat on your loved one. Brilliant advice dumbass. So I am going to put that on my list of posts to write this summer... right after I figure it all out.
Catchy tune right? Doesn't Chris Martin (from Coldplay, lending his vocals to the song) sound like Sting? "Oh-ie oh-ie, oh!"

8 weeks to that climb in Colorado. How goes the training?
Live it.
It is going well. I have improved on the treadmill workout. I had to slow it down to a walk to really extend the workout in time. Hopefully once I get them over two hours I can increase the speed a little.
I have a post ready about ppa. It will go up next week.
Isn't it nuts it is only 8 weeks away! Scary.
Have a great weekend. Have I told you I did the PPM twice? It's an awesome event. I'll dig around and see if I have any old articles (from pre-blog days) about it.
The Cubs are coming to SF soon - they're sure to pick up some wins out here.
