OK, all you would-be triathletes

Here's some motivation (get your tissues ready): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WjPrL3n63yg

And background information about the team: http://www.teamhoyt.com/history.shtml

Can you imagine? And here I am whining about how much I hate to go to the gym and how hard it is to run three miles. I needed that perspective.

You weren't kidding about the tissues! Daniel walked in when I was in the middle of the video and I couldn't even explain it to him. Wow.

I'm such a wimp!

I can't watch the video here at work - but the story was making me tear up enough that I had to stop reading it!!

It has even inspired ME to want to compete. I wish I could ride a bike. Sarah - how would you like to drag me in a pod attached to your bike?

I went to the doctor today. I will report in my actual entry

Amy, you need to get a tricycle! They make ones for grownups -- not exactly racing vehicles but they would do! Here's an example:

Emily! I laughed so hard over this tricycle!!! I had tears. I forwarded it to my boss. She was saying that little old ladies with visors and flags probably ride it. I said I could put daisies on the wheels!! The REALLY sad thing is I am thinking about getting it. It would be nice to ride to the grocery store (about 2-3 miles). It would be good exercise. I wonder where I could keep it... Hummmm. Katie - when you get your bike maybe we should look into a small storage shed for the backyard.
