Back in the Saddle

I didn’t take much time off because I have a few traveling commitments coming up.  Last weekend I was in Chicago for a few clinics, which went really well.  It was really nice to see my brother and some friends in the area.  Tomorrow I leave for Hawaii because I’m participating in the Maui Channel Swim.  It’s a long trip, but I’m excited to compete and enjoy the location.  Next week, I’m heading back to Ann Arbor for the weekend to see the first night game at Michigan Stadium.   Training has been going well so far, and I’m ready for the big push forward this year.

Now for a few plugs…

If you are a person who enjoys keeping up with Olympic sports but hasn’t found a news outlet to do so, then check out this site: www.dailyhouse.com.  It was started by USA Olympian speed skater Joey Cheek.  Joey and company have daily blog-style updates with news and current events that are informative, witty, and entertaining.  Definitely a good site to visit if you’re into the Olympic movement.

If you are a person who feels strongly about giving to charitable causes, then check out this site:  www.globalempathynow.org.  It was started by my longtime friend Randy Lam and his girlfriend, with a mission to help feed underprivileged children.  I’ve known Randy for most of my life, and I can guarantee that this charity is reputable.  We swam together for years and Randy is one of the most loyal and trustworthy people I know.  If you are looking to make a charitable donation now, or maybe towards the holiday season, this would be an excellent choice.  After all, who’s against feeding the children?!

I’ll try to get some good pictures in Hawaii to post upon my return!
