Today, I get up early to sell raffle tickets at our health club. We are raising money for my wife’s friend whose breast cancer has come back for the third time – and this time it has spread to her organs and bones. Her lifetime medical benefits are running out, so we are holding a fundraising benefit to ease her family’s expenses. Michelle is personal trainer at Body Tech Total Fitness in Mokena. She was the one who got my wife Laura to start competing in triathlons. We are going to have a table here and sell tickets, water bottles, and bracelets all week.
I take the table for an hour, and pass it off to some friends, and then my wife shows up. It seems to be going well. I go home, and do my speed workout – ten 400 meter repeats at 1:35. It’s tough, but I get most them between 1:30 and 1:3.
Somehow, the discomfort of this pace, or the anxiety over my unemployment doesn’t seem so bad in the grand scheme of things.
