Baby Connor a.k.a. McBaby

Hey everyone!  Welcome to my blog, where I will reflect on my training and fundraising experiences with Team in Training for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society – and oh yes….the fun and challenging times I have with TriAdventure Sports at home in Blacksburg.  I started doing endurance sports with Team in Training 7 yrs. ago and have been hooked ever since.  I’ve done 17 events and raised about $75,000 over these years….and I don’t plan to stop anytime soon.  It keeps me fit and focused on a cause for which I have a great passion.  I know that enthusiasm is contagious, and since I can’t contain my enthusiasm for Team in Training, I feel it’s time to share the experience so that you can care about this right along with me.  I need companions for the journey…especially virtual ones!  Today is a “day off,” that is, I’m in Richmond to visit my grandson Connor, 13 days old, his parents Josh and Kristen, and their pets Gabby and Cali.  My exercise was a walk in beautiful sunshine and snowscape, and thinking how I would connect with you.  It’s good to be reminded of the miracle of life, and newborn Connor does that for me….so I’m remembering to rest as I hold him, knowing that training will come again tomorrow.  Stay tuned!  Jan
