Big News

It has been an extremely busy spring. As you may know from my last update way back at the beginning of March, I had lots of races on the calendar. Sometimes, I get too busy training and racing to have time to stop and reflect on each race. I always make some comments about my races to my coach, but I would love to produce witty and informative race reports for each event. But alas, I am not actually that good of a writer. I occasionally have a burst of creative inspiration but mostly I have found that my race reports were stale and lacked the excitement of the first couple of ones I did when I got started with all of this. I decided it was time to write less and when I did write try to be interesting. Then I decided, if I can't be interesting or funny, maybe I should not write at all. In the end, I decided I would enjoy my chronicles later in life despite their dryness, lack of excitement or insightful commentary.

But before I go into all the race reports, I wanted to inform you of another development in our lives. No, we did not get a dog. Although we did get a cat. Our big news is that we are selling our house. That's right, it is time to downsize. We have a 2700 square foot tri-level house that is just too much house for us. The yard work has become cumbersome. It's not like I need the exercise either. So we put our house on the market and put a contract on a 1800 sq ft condo. We worked hard on our house to get it looking good. We got the driveway resealed and even put on a new roof.

So please, check out the listing and pass it along.

That's all for now. Next time I will fill you in on the races I have done so far this year. Just to recap, I have completed two 5Ks, one 10K, one 15K, 4 triathlons, and one supported 100 mile bike ride.

Thanks for reading.
