Good luck High Cliff Donkeys!!!

I'm off to our company golf outing to raise money for Children's Hospital.  On tap for the weekend:

Riding the Racine HIM course tomorrow a.m., long run Sunday, finishing up the work on the vacant apartment as the new tenants are moving in 6/30.  Woot!

Going to a business law conference this afternoon.  Going to squeeze a run in after that and then head out for birthday beers in honor of one of my college buds.

Started the day changing a leaky faucet at one of the other rentals.  Since I was there I mowed the lawn.

Today's plan:  Swim over lunch and mountain bike race tonight.

On deck after work:  1.5 hr run, .5 hr medicine ball.

Exciting news: Last night I signed a lease on the vacant apartment.  Because the old tenant's lease goes through the end of June I won't miss a day of rent!  Now I just need to find the time to get everything completely finished in the next week and a half.  I rented to the ultra marathoner / bike racer / mountain biker / alpine ski racer / honors college prof who I learned in my background check has also done a first ascent on a route on El Capitan in Yosemite.  Glad I no longer have to spend time fielding calls and e-mails and showing the place, and expect he and his wife will be great house mates (since it's the lower of the duplex I live in).

OWS:  I'm doing an open water swim race on 6/30 in Pleasant Prairie.  Interested?  Go HERE to discuss in the thread I started in the WI forum.

On Wednesday I'm going to race at Crystal Ridge with the Metro Mountain Bikers.  We've got long days right now so it will probably be a 15 mile race on the twisty and hilly single track.  If you have a mountain bike you should be there!

Reg starts at 5 p.m. and race starts at 6:30.  $8.  I went last year and my old school Gary Fischer was by far the lowest tech bike there.  And I got smoked by the hard cores.  Still a blast!

Who is in???

Going to miss a 1.5 hr ride tonight as I'm going to a memorial service.  A friend of mine died last week from a motorcycle accident.  Scary stuff, an suv blew a stop sign on a rural highway and he hit the tail end of it.  He was in a coma for over a week when he had a stroke and then died.  He was geared up but this stuff happens on motorcycles.  He just rode Deal's Gap last month which I'm sure was a blast.  I loved having a bike (Buell Thunderbolt S3T) but was never able to completely enjoy it as I was always worried about the other guys on the road.  Godspeed, Shane.

Calf muscles are a bit tired from HHH but otherwise feel good.  75 90 minute run on deck today, along with an 8 year olds b-day get together and some house work.

Got the first application on the apartment yesterday.  Dood has done the Leadville Ultra.  I almost offered to sign a lease on the spot.  But I'm going to do my background check first...

Went to church with Lori today, outside service was nice.  Then bought a new sink and toilet along with all the fun plumbing for them, a light fixture, and other fun doodads to finish off the bathroom and take care of a few more details.  Then spent an hour sanding baseboards to prep for painting before heading to the b-day / fathers day party where we ate, drank (one Leine's Big Butt Double Bock), and played a long game of bocce before heading home to run.  A great Sunday, and now I am tired...
