Hey Trish! Here are my PT results:

1.5 Run - 9:20
Sit-ups - 63 in one minute
Push-ups - 53 in one minute
Chin-ups - 24 in one minute
200 Meter Swim - passed (no time requirement)
Waist - 30.5"
Composite Score - 94.2 (top 10% of the Air Force)

I'm pretty pleased with the results. In other news, Chicago 2016 relesed its new logo on Wednesday. It's pretty sweet. The six-pointed star matches the stars on the Chicago flag and the points represent shared values that the city and the Olympic movement have in common. The top point represents Hope, the next point, Respect, then Harmony, Friendship, Excellence and Celebration. I think the colors are the best part though. The blue is Lake Michigan and it fades into green which symbolizes the nearly 26 miles of lakefront parks and beaches. The blue fades to red and yellow which is indicitive of the skyline reaching towards the sun. Pretty awesome.

Greetings. Trish is now dominating me not only in activity, but also in posts.

The Cowboys game was insane! We got there at noon for a 7:00 game. The gates opened at 4:00 and we were serving non-stop until the end of the third quarter when our inventory went completely dry. We even ran out of the concentrated syrup for soda and people were still willing to pay for just the carbonated water. Rediculous, but we raised over $4,000 for our Team in Training club. We're raising money to sponsor a team in the USA Rowing World Challenge, which is in Oklahoma City this year at the Chesapeake Boathouse. Ultimately all the funds go toward leukemia research.

Sunday I took a break, but on Monday I rowed a 10k with a four-crew. I love rowing, but the membership fees are really expensive so I don't get to do it as much as I would like. Here is a photo of the proposed rowing course for the 2016 Olympics in Chicago.

This morning I actually built up enough motivation to run and got in a quick three miles. I'm going to try it again tomorrow because things are getting really busy at work and I haven't been getting home until 10:00 PM lately.
