First off. Tac needs to address Bigun and Greyhound...Yes Tac is aware of his lack of posting...DID YOU READ THE LAST POST! :) Honestly, blogging has been way down on the list the last several weeks. Yet if your reading this, thanks for checking in and sending your words of encourgment, they really mean alot!
Tener Gusta La Espana-The Janus Charity Fund Raiser
What an awesome evening. We had the idea of a fundraiser, the creativity of our friends took over and we ended up with a lovely evening on Lake Minnetonka with Spanish wine flights, tapas and good friends.
Hypen Girl and Swinging Girl were part of our official servers.
Appreciation is in order. Thanks to all the organizers for putting this together starting with the always raging hot Trimama. Thank you Robbie, Sara, Abbey and Pam for all your cooking and decorating! Thank you to all our guests who contributed to my charity SAVE (Suicide Awareness and Voices of Education).
Through the contributions of our guests we raised over $1000.00 dollars towards my goal! One of the special parts of the evening was when the parents of Jon whom Tac dedicated this race to, won the jewlery door prize. You have to love God's providence!
Tac is thankful.
Thankful for the gift of health that allows me to take on the IMMoo event. What an honor to participate in such an epic event.
Thankful for the gift of a beautiful woman (inside and out) who supports me in my goals both spirtually, vocationally and Iron related.
Thankful for friends who love others enough to give generously so others can experience healing in the midst of great sorrow.
Thankful for the opportunity to carry the names of these families 140.6 miles, remembering there loss and praying for them along the journey towards the capitol finish line. Tac has many names he's carrying on a post card September 9th, if you have seen the effects of Suicide in your life, or the lives of others PLEASE email those names so that I can race in honor of them. I'll be praying for you and your effected family members or friends.
Thankful for the bloggers who have encouraged me to dream big and have a big heart! Thanks guys, you know who you are!

Tac's goal is to reach $3500.00. He's at $2300.00 currently, anything you can do to help would be great! Just click on the link to the right to go to my Janus Chartiy page.
Up next...my final thoughts before heading to Wisconsin
OMG Greyhound is sleeping at our house on Tuesday night. So much Iron intensity under one roof, look out neighbors!

Thank YOU, Tac! It was a beautiful evening, and so kind of you to select this charity. Sara's homemade baguettes were unbelievable... she let me take one home. ;-)
Hello to Greyhound on Tuesday! I didn't know he was coming up early. Are you taking him on the Wed ride for a pre-race ride?

after your last post, it's great to see your not swirling down the toilet of whatever had you in it's negative grip. You're gonna be an Ironman! Damn Skippy! I'm psyched for you!
Hyphen Girl and Swinging Girl look so sweet. Glad your event was a success, and I'll hit your fundraising link again. See you Tuesday, mate.
Congratulations on your successful fundraiser! What a worthy charity. Thanks for taking it up Tac. Best of everything for you next weekend. We'll be watching from the edge of our seats.
