BIG plans

Last summer I wrote about the book Slow Fat Triathlete. It planted a little seed in my head. I started to think about my sorry state of inactivity and about turning 40. Put the two together and voilà—I’m now entered in the Tri for the Cure-Denver 2009 on August 2. I’m really excited about it because I don’t usually set this type of goal. I do feel that with a lot of work and training this summer, I’ll be able to do it with a few months to spare before I turn 40 on the last day of the year.

The other reason this appealed to me this year is that one of my aunts was diagnosed with breast cancer last month. She had a double mastectomy a couple of weeks ago and will be going through chemo and radiation this summer..the same summer in which both of her sons are getting married.

If you’d like to support me and the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation, please make a donation of any amount!

Thank you!
