A is for…..

First of all, just wanted to say thank you from the Cotter Crew. Your kind words from the last post (race recap) pretty much MADE OUR WEEK!

So on to today. It’s a filler post. I firmly believe in filler posts if NEED BE! Meaning, they are informative, light-hearted, and fun or clever. I need this today. It gives my mind and my emotions a break. But it also keeps things going and moving, which is what we’re all about. Moving forward….one DAY at a TIME!

Here goes.

A is for…..

A is for Austin 

We’ll be home for the month. No racing till AUGUST.
There’s no place like Austin, come visit PLEASE!

A is for Active Recovery

Since the hubs is not racing anytime soon, he can focus on a good solid block of quality training. But FIRST, he must focus on Active Recovery.  
I decided I’d do the same with a little Aqua Jogging.

Beats running in the 100+ heat! And no I’m not injured or insane. Winking smile

A is for ATE….(WIAW)

Lets just say we have yet to restock our fridge since being home.
 But at least we have the Cotter Staples…

Eggs and GF Toast!

Think I could try to make these “GF style?” Now there’s a challenge!

A is for AUCTION!!

If you're not paying attention to this post (which is totally cool), at least pay attention to this!!

I sure hope most of you know about this by now, and if you haven’t, well here it is!!

Susan (aka the great balancing act) was recently diagnosed with Lymphoma. The scary thing is that she lived a very healthy lifestyle before all this happened. She is currently in the hospital undergoing treatment. You can read about her brave story here! But needless to say, cancer comes with more than just a diagnosis, it come with treatment and medical bills! Being self employed myself, I can only imagine the cost of treatment for her.

This auction is our chance to come together and support! Bloggers are awesome at this and we can help relieve Susan of this financial burden.

Check out Janetha’s page for details!! I’ll be auctioning off some fun items. But you'll have to stay tuned till next Wednesday to find out what. hehe!
 

So there you have it. My A list!
Any A’s you can relate too? Are you coming to Austin to visit me? Open-mouthed smile

Cheers!
