Nothing new...

Hey all,

I don't have much to say, but I just wanted to let you know I was alive and well. Not much has gone on since my last post. I took a trip to the Croatian National Championships on Sunday but I did not throw. I could not get a ride on the day of the shot put, but it is not important. Now, I have three more days in Hungary before I leave for Greece. The meet is a hammer and shot only event, so we get a lot of attention. Plus, our hotel is more of a resort, situated about 100 feet from the Mediterranean. Fun stuff. After that I will hang out in Europe for about 3 or 4 days before I come back on August 10th. I will definitely visit Zagreb for at least 2 days. :)

I have been giving the fundraising thing a lot of thought. I am not firm on anything yet, but it will probably involve some sort of private sponsorship printed on a t-shirt. I will wear this shirt during warm-ups in the upcoming year and it will have the names/companies of those who donated money on it in different sizes (depending on donation). I think it is a good idea. I just hope it works. I will write more in a later blog post, but the main reason for this down season is the difficulty of balancing a full-time job with training. I know I can put a lot more into it and have a chance at doing something really special in 2008. So, chew on that for a while... I am sure I'll have a post up before the end of August.

Thanks for your support so far! I hope you enjoy the blog. Maybe I can work on a website in teh future!
