Bonus Prayer Time

So I have not exactly decided yet what my next event is going to be, but it's time to do some more writing today. I've been struggling with what I do or don't have to say without the overarching theme of an Event to Train For hanging over it all. But I'll try to have something worthwhile for you...

This morning, I saw the Praying Guy not once, but twice out there on the bike trail. He's kinda out there, but I enjoy his enthusiasm, and it's always good to see him. Heck, I appreciate pretty much anyone praying for me, and one of these times I am going to have to stop and talk to him for a minute. If I manage it, and it is at all interesting, I will be sure to let you know!

I have been experiencing some improvements in health lately, and I think pretty much everyone who knows I swim knows about the Victory of the Speedo. But if I somehow missed you, I am here to say that I am now the proud owner of not one, but two actual Speedo swimsuits. The suit I had been swimming in fit well, but is not really made for what I am doing to it. I was very intimidated by the Actual Athletic Swimsuits, so I ordered one online so I could try it on at home. To my shock and amazement, it fit! And then I found another one on a clearance rack! It feels good to be getting even a little smaller. I also got to buy some clothes that are a size smaller than I have been wearing. So it's all good. I am most excited about lower blood pressure, more energy and (always) the fantastic human beings I get to train with.

One of our Fearless Leaders decided that since my initials are "CH" that my nickname ought to be "Sugar." We'll see if it catches on!

Yours in sweetness,
"Sugar"
