Where my brain has mostly been for the past 8 months...

I know this will be a lame post for many of you, but please take a look anyway.
Our stake, Mesa Arizona Kimball East Stake (MAKES, for short), sponsored a triathlon this last Saturday. It was hours and hours and hours in the making. Those of us on the beginning committee, 4, had to meet with the City of Mesa to have routes approved, a pool rented and park with ramada's secured. Believe it or not, we had to meet several times until we were both happy with what and where we could do this event with a small budget. We were NOT charging anyone to participate, but did offer for a small fee t-shirts if they wanted them. We were hoping support would come from each ward, but did worry a little. After months, it was finally here and we had over 500 people participate and also family supporters that came to this event!! We were first of all shocked, but of course quite happy with the turnout. I have heard straight from one of the stake presidencies mouth that this event will happen again next year! We will take what we learned from this year, both good and bad, and try to improve our triathlon. Please go to facebook and check out all of the pictures. There are several who have posted them, so just keep on scrolling down and click on them all. If you know anyone in the photo's - please feel free to tag. Our blog is simply called 'Health is a Habit". Enjoy. There is a cute picture of Doug and I so you'll have to look through a lot of pictures to find it!
