What this is all about -

You may ask why are we signed up and trained for such a race. For our team, RAAM is not just a Race Across AMerica, it is a race to better our community. Our charity is North Coast Community Service (NCCS), which teams with 11 nonprofit organizations in San Diego County to make a difference in people’s lives. In the past 12 months, 5,500 NCCS volunteers have completed over 450 unique service projects. There is a broad spectrum of support which include the following: feeding and providing shelter for the homeless, assistance to a drug and alcohol recovery program, a home for people disabled by HIV/AIDS, support of military families by providing: financial support, home improvements, baby supplies, childcare, and counseling, outreach to nursing home residences, help to pregnant teenagers and adult women, help for homeless kids, and non-profit resale for foster children. This is just a short summary of the help provided by the organization we are raising money to support. If you feel compelled to join us on our journey and support making a difference in this world, you can make a tax-deductible contribution to our team. Please follow this link Support NCCS RAAM 2008.

Point of View

I thought I would share a photo of the RAAM team.
From left to right - Pete Penseyres, Dave Rideout, Jeff Holmes, Mike Bennett, Jim Penseyres, Karla, Frank Peters. I am in the back.

Sometimes it is good to change your point of view. In this instance, the photographer should have changed his point of his view because I look extremely tall. I think Karla laughed for 5 minutes when she first saw this. This is a little better (Karla and I after the California 70.3) -





As for training so far this week:

Mon - 10 mile run in the AM and swim in the PM.

Tuesday - Bike Commute to and from work plus a trip to the car shop - 70 miles.

Wed AM - Easy 8 mile run. Tonight intervals 7x5 min - it will be good I tell myself.

Sorta looks like the Sears tower surrounded by a bunch of other buildings. Oh well, you all look ready. Have fun in Kansas.
