The Week in Review

• Finished my ninth full week of training for the Ocean Drive 10 Miler and the Long Branch Half Marathon. 25 miles of running and 2 days of biking. One more week of intensive training (Bike on Monday, Intervals on Tuesday, Swim Wednesday, 9 mile tempo run on Thursday and a 13 mile long run on Saturday - it makes me tired to just type it) and then two taper weeks before the Ocean Drive race.
  
• Still reading The Tipping Point and Freakonomics. They are more similar than I thought they would be and I am confusing them with each other. I think I need to just pick one and finish it then get back to the other.
  
• The Second Connor's Courageous Kids book fair was a huge success (despite a March snowstorm that shut us down on Monday). Over $4,300 of books will be donated to the two organizations Connor's House supports through this event.
  
• The person I Interviewed last week to be my new boss decided to take another position so the search goes on.
• I learned that if you live overseas you can't buy tickets through livenation for concerts in the United States. On the surface that may seem like it makes sense but for people that want to go to a concert while in the US for vacation it stinks unless you have a friend (like me) who will get your tickets for you.
• We passed on Connor's beloved wheelchair to another young boy who needed one this week. It was very difficult because it was like losing another piece of him but that was outweighed by being able to help another child in need. You can see pictures of Connor in his wheelchair here.
• If you are shipping books to someone, go to the Post Office and ask for the Book Rate. It is way cheaper (but it is the last option they tell you about at the counter).
