The First Post

A blog, I can't believe I'm considering this. First of all, I'm male. It seems the vast majority of casual bloggers are females. You know, the wives blogging about their family life and all that good stuff. But, for whatever reason, I felt like starting a blog was something I should do. So, here goes nothing.

What do I hope to accomplish? I think the primary reason a blog piqued my interest in the first place was my decision to begin training for triathlons. I wanted a little something to document publicly my little personal journey. I use a nice Android app (CardioTrainer) to log all the biking, swimming, and running I do, but that only shows the data. And the data doesn't tell the whole story. It can't tell you my emotions, my thoughts, the struggles, obstacles, and all the other life stories to go with it all.

Even though I have all these high hopes of training for triathlons, there is this little thing called reality. I'm a husband and father of three. Add in Church responsibilities, two jobs (Environmental Engineer and Pharmacy Technician), and life in general, it gets a bit hectic, crazy, but always entertaining!
