Headed Home

I am actually on the plane headed home now (sitting first class thanks to the insane travel miles and super elite status of wonderful Lindsey).  While I am still pretty down about the whole not-being-able-to-finish situation, and will be for a bit, I certainly do understand that this sort of thing is bound to happen to people who attempt crazy things, and, that I am making the right decision to call it off.

The emails, texts, comments and calls I have received have been overwhelmingly comforting and supportive and I want to thank everyone so much for all your kind words.  For those of you who know me, and those of you who are getting to now me through my adventures, you can be certain I will be back to do this again soon enough.  And, I will be doing a few other adventures...well, many, many other adventures for the rest of my life.

My next post will be a big review of my experience, so I will hold off on talking about any of that for the time being.  I would like to post up here what the rest of the summer is going to look like, and hope that all of you can continue to follow along as I delve into a whole slew of fun in the warm summer months.

As many of you know, this will be my last summer on the East Coast.  Lindsey and I will be moving out West in the early fall where I will be starting up the dream gym I have in my mind and living my life the way I have always envisioned: shoeless, shirtless, and in the wilderness.  But I am not there yet, and in the mean time I have an awesome Garage Gym and tons (and I mean tons!) of perfect outdoor space to train.  Below you will find a nice little list of all the happenings of this summer:

- Riding With Courage WOD takes place (May 1st!)
- CrossFit Courage becomes official!
- I attend the CrossFit Games Regional competition (come on thumb heal!)
- CrossFit classes begin at The Garage (expect to be doing just about everything imaginable in terms of physical training!)
- Baseball Strength and Conditioning classes all summer long
- Headfirst Gamer baseball season gets underway
- CrossFit Courage Outdoor Competition takes place (official registration coming very, very soon)

Believe me when I say there will be many more exciting happenings before I head out, so keep your eyes peeled, and try to make it out to as many of them as you can.  What will end up happening, is that this blog will automatically transition over to either the Courage Performance site, or the CrossFit Courage site, and that will make everything pretty easy to follow.  I hope...

Again everyone, thank you so much for following along my journey, I day dream about what I would have experienced through Kansas, Missouri, Kentucky and Virginia, but I guess I'll just have something to look forward to now.   As I mentioned, you can expect one more big post on this blog before it transitions, so keep on following and commenting; I am all about building a fun, healthy, active community, so I hope all of you can join me in mine as it grows!

Thank you so much!
