Rest week.  I had such lofty expectations.  Sleeping in every day now that the kids are out of school, letting my body fully recover from the beating over the last month, etc.  It seems that Coach Bob and I have different definitions of rest week.  Of course his definition ultimately won out which meant three rest days instead of two.  Otherwise it was the standard two workouts daily.  Nothing really to note this week.  Five weeks down and I’m still healthy and injury free.

If you’re wanting to see something REALLY crazy you need to look up the Iron Cowboy.  He set out this week to do 50 / 50 / 50 – that would be 50 Ironman races in 50 states in 50 days.  This week he kicked it off in Hawaii, went from there to Alaska, and is now making his way across the continental US.  The craziest of the logistics are behind him.  If he manages to pull this off he’ll earn instant legend status in the Ironman circles.  If he happens to make it to day 12 (this Wednesday) I just may have to go out and cheer him on for his Texas appearance.

On Friday I helped Jason and Katy out with a local golf tournament to benefit CTF.  The day went great and everyone seemed to have a blast.  Jason came ten inches from a new car.  Literally.  But most importantly is that more funds were raised to help find a cure for NF.  Thanks to everyone that came out or made a donation to the event.

This week it’s back to a full training load.  As always, I’ll keep you posted.
