Two Weeks and Counting....

Thank you to everyone who has made a donation to support Team Soren. Your support has been inspirational to all of us.

We are rapidly approaching Race Day and I cannot wait. Been running and biking while I have been on the road. I am flying home this afternoon and am looking forward to a final build week before a rest week leading up to the race. Sunday I am taking part in the NIKE HUMAN RACE 10K as a final run. Anyone interested in joing me?

More updates as we get closer.

journey

earlier tonight, i went on my first training ride for the LA Tri since joining Team Soren.

as i clipped into the pedals, i started to think about my journey - and then accepted that this isn't about me. it's about him. this boy i know. so full of life, as yet untainted. so full of promise, as yet undiscovered. so full of potential, as yet unrealized.

chris, ezra and i will combine forces on september 7th in his honor. our strength will be his. one will rise and fall with, under and atop the waves; the next will charge hard and pedal the streets of the city, from west to east; and the next will charge hard on unforgiving concrete. all for him.

soren, as we join you on your journey, i offer these words i know your grandmother would love -

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.



It's a Hot One

Ezra here, the "runner" in the running leg of the triathlon. Ran a practice 6 miles at Griffith Park and it was really warm out there. The news about the funds already raised is amazing. If we can double that amount by Friday I will double my mileage on Saturday and run 12 miles. Make me hurt and donate now to Team Soren.

Much Love

Fundraising Update!

In just two days, we have raised $1,460!

Thank you all so much!
