The Trek is On!

Yeah! My condo sale is DONE!!!


I am now free to move about the country, as the SW slogan goes. Tomorrow, I'm squeezing in a talk with a publishing & social networking consultant that my mom knows, then lunch with some long-time family friends before I hit the road -- first stop Asheville, NC!


My good friend in Laguna Beach has talked me into doing the Santa Barbara Triathlon Aug. 21-23 time frame (I'm slow, but not that slow...it's only one of those days)...of course, I'm doing the women-only sprint course and she's doing the coed military version.


Training has already started in Raleigh as I have been walking 2 miles a day with my mom...the sprint course requires running that far...baby steps...baby steps...


Each hotel along the way has been strategically chosen for its access to a swimming pool so I can ensure that I can at least dog paddle the required 500 yards...now all I need is to find a way to work up to the 6-mile bike ride...maybe I can find some stationary bikes in these places.


Anyone want to join us? It would at least be a fun trip to Santa Barbara :)


BTW: Here's the doggy Mother's Day card and inside it reads "I was just...uh...getting you something to drink for mother's day. yeah...that's it... :

  1. yeah, but does the Max get to swim too at these pools along the way? He likes the water.

  2. One error in my calculations is that this is pre-Memorial Day right now...so no pools are open out here! That will be fixed after I get to Texas because (a) the pools are always open in the warm areas down there and (b) Memorial Day will happen during my stay there.
