$2 House Challenge

The price is too right not to jump on this challenge.

Evan and his wife are inches away from landing their first home. They need $5,000 to match the counter offer, and they are asking their online family for an assist.

Two bucks. That’s a Dr. Pepper you don’t buy today. That’s a couple mp3′s you don’t buy this week. That’s a late fee at Blockbuster. It’s the cost of Super-Sizing your meal at lunch.

I’m just saying.

They’re throwing a house party when they get it. I just may go.

Ironpuppy 2008

Building on the momentum of my old man, I too have thrown my hat into the triathlon ring for next summer. I’ve been riding my bike pretty good this month, and with a little more focused training I think I do alright in this thing.

It’s not a full, or even a half triathlon, but rather what they call a Sprint or Mini triathlon. Here are the distances:

Swim — 1000 meters

Bike — 14 miles

Run — 4 miles

This is a Racing For Recovery event in Monroe, Michigan. The swimming section will be in Lake Erie, where they say the water will be 68-69°. I’m thinking about making this a yearly activity with the hopes of moving up to a half marathon after a few years.

Who’s with me?
