As I look out my office window, I see a squirrel perched on a limb of the old Dogwood tree, tail twitching, swish! swish! like a windshield wiper, looking like he's ready to launch. I feel just like that! Ready to launch! This year, I determined to SHOW UP for all workouts: Rambo...swim...bike....run...REPEAT!!! Often there were two workouts a day...but the results are in: I'm in the best shape of my life, and I qualified to compete in the World Sprint Triathlon Competition in Budapest, Hungary on September 11. Next week, a small group of athletes will depart Roanoke for two weeks of competition, sightseeing, and culture, beginning in Edinburgh and ending in Budapest. It's hard to believe I'll be among them! So many people have been part of this venture: TriAdventure Sports in Blacksburg (my fortress and inspiration on a daily basis), Team in Training for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (with whom I've trained & raised funds for 9 yrs), this year's TNT Tri Coach Mike Morris, and lots of cheering from family and friends everywhere. You're the best!!! To top things off, Maggie Moo's at First & Main in Blacksburg is inviting all of you to come have ice cream this Wednesday night between 6 and 9 PM. Life is short - eat dessert first!!!
Come on down to Maggie Moo's at First & Main this Wednesday night, 6-9 PM for some serious ice cream scooping!!! We're celebrating (and fund raising) Jan's trip to Budapest to compete in the World Sprint Triathlon competition! Come see your favorite super scoopers! 6-7: Jan McGilliard and Kristen DiCarlo, 7-8: Anne Thompson and Lynne Krulich, 8-9: Mike McGilliard and Dave Winston.
