Change is always good...

Ever since the Amazing Race TV show aired for the first time a couple of years ago my wife and I have wished could participate and travel around the world like the teams in the race do. Liz and I have been fortunate to travel to many places around the world during our short lives but the truth is that there is so much more to see and experience. After watching some of the places the participants get to visit we can’t help to wish that someday the restriction imposed on me will allow me to sign up and hopefully be chosen to participate. But, if that does not work then Liz and I will just have to save up and make our own Amazing Race of sorts.

But this weekend we are making our first attempt to make ourselves ready when our time comes. Liz and I will be participating in Loveland’s Amazing Race to be held on Saturday. The organizers of the race are former winners of the Amazing Race Family Edition and natives of Cincinnati, OH. The description of the race sounds like a ton of fun and an excellent way to spend a lovely mid-June Saturday afternoon. As far as I know most of the challenges are being kept a secret from the participants so we don’t have any idea about what we are going to be doing. For that reason is really hard to come up with a game plan. But one thing is for sure, Liz and I will be throwing down the hammer to best that we can to see how we finish. Of course, getting to the finish line in one piece is always the goal. Anything after that is just icing on the cake!

I am looking forward to taking part on this race. It is a great opportunity to do something different and take my mind away from the upcoming challenge next weekend in West Virginia. The Clot Buster is almost ready to take on the hills… next week I will be just taking it easy to allow my body the best possible preparation before the event.

Stay tuned for a full report from the Amazing Race. Cross your fingers for us because if Liz has to do a hand-eye coordination challenge we will need all the positive energy we can get from all of you out there…!

Thanks for reading.
