the great leslie

I just got an e-mail from my cousin about the super-long triathlon he is doing in ten days (check him out here). He's swimming 1.2 miles, biking 56 miles, then running 13 miles. This, of course, makes my little 1 mile swim/26 mile bike/6 mile bike seem so little and silly, and makes me seem ridiculous for struggling with the training. Truth be told, getting out of bed is one of my biggest struggles, but if Wade can get up at 5:30 a.m., I should be able to roust myself by 6:30. Although, Wade is known for his powerful ability to burn the candle at all three ends...

The triathlon is only 12 weeks away and I have much to do! Which brings me to my next point: money. I have to raise some money and I haven't even started! Please consider donating to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society: a VERY worthy cause. You can do this via active.com at this address: http://:www.active.com/donate/tntnyc/thegreaterleslie

Thanks so much. I'll keep you updated on my progress. Hopefully Wade's work will help inspire me to move a little faster!
