March 28th is only a few months away... so, I decided in some random moment of overconfidence that on March 28th I'd run 6, swim 1, and bike 26 miles... yes. I'm doing the Lavaman Triathlon. 

Not only do I fear that I will die & not make it past the 1 mile swim, I am pretty sure I will look like a fool doing it as well hoorah. 

Regardless, the most important part of this is that I'll be doing it to raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. 

My training is nowhere up to par and if I were to attempt this feat right now, I would collapse, no doubt. I'll definitely track my progress towards this tri here as well as my workouts. Also, I'm targeting trying to raise $4.8k for LLS--but I hope to totally exceed that, so I'll keep a running track of my fundraising efforts as well. Any donations are much appreciated
