SALUTE, Inc. -- Honor The Service

Throughout 2010 I'm helping raise money and awareness for a wonderful military family support organization: SALUTE, INC.

As an endurance athlete I've come to appreciate nothing more than the freedom to swim, bike and run -- for fun and fitness.

I can enjoy these activities because there are Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines and Guardsmen out in the world ensuring my, and your, freedom to do so.

This is my, and your, chance to say thank you. SALUTE, INC., passionately pursues meeting the financial, physical and emotional needs of the military service members, veterans and their families.

Another Week -- Training doldrums?

Week 14 was another short week. Managing life with three busy kids, and a lovely adoring wife (Hi Heidi!) is more difficult than actually doing the training. Between Walk-a-thons, parties, church, Sunday School, and a Pinewood Derby, the weekend was over-booked. So I squeezed most of my workouts into the weekdays. Here's what I accomplished:

Mon., 3/30: Bike "Hill Session" on the trainer. A) it's pretty flat around here; B) I need Spring to actually arrive.

Tues., 3/31: Short swim session: 1300 yards.

Weds., 4/1: 1.5 mile endurance swim. According to the triathlon geek training plan, was supposed to be an open water swim -- not in Chicagoland.

Thurs., 4/2: Short treadmill run -- about 4 miles.

Fri., 4/2: 3 hours on the bike trainer. Mental focus....

Sat., 4/3: 10 mile run (this was supposed to be a brick workout with the 3 hours on the bike, no such luck this week).

Sun., 4/4: Off Day.

I really wish Spring would get here. Where's that global warming they've been promising me? When it started snowing on Sunday evening, my 3 (almost 4) year old chimed up, "Hey Mom, it's raining snow. What's up with that?" She was just voicing what we were all thinking.
