Happy Thanksgiving...

What a great weekend we are heading into. A 4 day weekend is great but we get to celebrate Thanksgiving and cheer the Buckeyes on against our rival from up north. This is the 1st year they have put the 2 on the same weekend so it makes for a nicely packed weekend.

This is also a big weekend for us as our annual Beat Michigan fundraiser event for my fathers charity is this weekend. This is the 3rd year we have done it and it seems to get better every year. We have some great supporters again this year with Mama Mimi’s coming on board and supplying all our food. This party is a blast as we have a huge tent butted up against my garage and make it more of a tailgate atmosphere. I constructed a huge 12 foot screen to watch the game with a huge stereo system. Teddy Crunkspen will be performing again this year and they always keep the party going after the game. We look to have just as much fun and raise even more money this year in my dads honor. He was a HUGE Buckeye fan and this is a great way to keep him cheering them on! If you can’t make it feel free to donate on his website: www.ftafoundation.org.  Every little bit helps! Hope to see you there! (email me for details)
Hope everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving! Be safe and eat way more than you should!  GO BUCKS!

Looking forward to a fun weekend, then its time to start getting serious with training for next year.. I’m ready!

Back to training...

Haven't had a chance to write about the amazing news Tara and I got last week.  We found out we are having a baby girl!  It makes it seem even that much more real that we will have a little baby crawling around here soon...  It also open the gates for Tara to start shopping... oh man.. I might need a 4th job now.. anyone hiring???  haha

Started back on the bike today for more than once a month.. and of course it was the coldest day of the year...  27 when we left this morning but ended up being a nice 3.5 hour ride with good company.  Looking forward to getting some more time on the bike and getting some more fitness.. god knows I need it!!

She's number 1!
