Windy

Got back out and rode 36 miles today after taking days off after Ironman China. It was extremely windy out but felt great to ride with my friend Scott Horns (coach) and Eddie Freas from our recovery house. It was truly humbling to know that Eddie who struggled with a cocaine addiction, saw the ESPN clip in New Jersey and moved here in January and has not only remained sober but it training for the Racing for Recovery Half Ironman and Ironman Western Australia. Our program is NOT only about exercise and triahtlon but it is a part of our holistic approach to sobriety and this is a prime example of success.

It is good to be back home this week and next Wed I am off to St. Croix to do the half ironman. It is beautfiul down there but that course is a tough one and doing it 2 weeks after Ironman China is going to be a challenge but that is what I am all about whether it is a triathlon or completing my Master of Counseling Degree, I always want to pursue and achieve the next goal I set for myself and Racing for Recovery.

We have our first Racing for Recovery softball practice tomorrow. We are sponsoring the whole team and everyone can play free of charge. It will yet one more activity for people to be involved with and show our slogan "With Sobriety Anything is Possible" it truly achievable.

Thanks to Murhphy who had me on his radio show 106.5 The Zone here in Toledo last Thursday. It will be posted on the media section soon.

Thanks to Monroe County Adolescent Center for having me along with Kevin, Eddie and Orlando from Racing for Recovery speak to their youth about all things sobriety and Racing for Recovery. Yes this was a pro bono speaking gig.

Sobriety and Racing for Recovery are great things and I am thankful for what this program has done for others.

Enjoy your day.
