I have a spare bedroom and we can crossfit with Mr. Mirek. You can buy the plane ticket, and flying isn't so bad. Take some valium if you're nervous. This would be the perfect time to do your 5k that I have planned for you. Yeah it would be a tad bit strange seeing you in person as you are my "blog friend" but I bet we'd be over that in 5 seconds. And I live really REALLY close to Midway airport in chicago...<BR/><BR/>#2 You are a teacher, search the internet!!! Last year I went to the galapagos islands via a grant for teachers (www.fundforteachers.com). Check out my travel blog: www.travelpod.com/members/team_tortuga<BR/><BR/>This summer from June 25 to July 13 I am going to Mexico via another teacher grant to study archaeology and geology of the Yucatan peninsula...flying into Cancun!!<BR/><BR/>You CAN find a way to finance your Crossfit trip!!

As for my trip, I know that a 50 state tour would be hard to plan, but I was thinking maybe this summer of just doing a few surrounding states. I need to travel and stop being so sheltered, and hey, it'd be fun! :) You wanna join?Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526466324237785391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-7383593947756463022008-04-24T11:11:00.000-04:002008-04-24T11:11:00.000-04:00stumping, not thumping...duh :)stumping, not thumping...duh :)georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318705838821448103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-20458316115638376562008-04-24T11:10:00.000-04:002008-04-24T11:10:00.000-04:00Katie - two thingsFirst - Get to know and love Mat...Katie - two things<BR/><BR/>First - Get to know and love Matthew Lesko. There are a thousand government programs and monies out there for you to make this book idea a reality. There are grants to pay for your transportation, the cost of workouts (which I bet you could get most affiliates to let you do one or two workouts for free with the publicity and your sweet ways), your housing, and even a stipend to help feed your muscles. Plus, the CrossFit community is so strong, I bet you'd have a lot of couches to stay on as well as Zone dinner invites. Start researching. MAKE IT REAL! Besides, you're young. A year of poverty to live a dream is beyond worth it. Blog it throughout - get advertisers to pay - let people donate - compile the book at the end with extra tidbits - bring a video camera along and make a documentary or to provide footage for when you are on the Today Show thumping your book...just be sure to mention your roots at Jerry Hill's CrossFit Challenge!<BR/><BR/>Second - DON'T CHANGE the GRADES! These kids are in third grade and need to learn the truth about life. What you put in is what you get out. And, if it's a weakness, work it till it's a strength. And tell the parents to take a chill pill. ;) (Then again, I think Fairfax County does make it really hard on students who need extra resources to keep on pace with their peers. I feel bad you teachers have to deal with frustrated parents.)georgiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318705838821448103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-3034343480352500552008-04-24T10:33:00.000-04:002008-04-24T10:33:00.000-04:00Hey, affiliate or not, I'd be happy to join you if...Hey, affiliate or not, I'd be happy to join you if I'm ever in Chicago. Problem is, I never leave Va, unless it's to go to Pa. I'd love to come though... confessional time... I've never left the East Coast, the farthest south I've been is VA, and I have never flown. Oh hush! Yes, I know! I've lived a sheltered life. This is why the 50 state affiliate road trip would be unbelievably fun for me. :) If anyone reading works for the lottery, and you would like to arrange for me to win so I can finance my dream trip... I promise I won't tell a soul! ;)Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00526466324237785391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5977007359627193869.post-4319434971273091072008-04-24T08:11:00.000-04:002008-04-24T08:11:00.000-04:00I too share that fun goal of working out in good a...I too share that fun goal of working out in good affiliates across the country. Next time you're through Chicago though, you'll just have to join us (me and Tanya). We're definitely not an affiliate, but we are fun people.<BR/><BR/>I have two potential visits already planned (TX in July, Rockford, IL in August). I really should make it out to one here in the city of Chicago, but where's the adventure there? If ever I get out there to DC (maybe this summer), I am totally coming your way!<BR/><BR/>Hey, school's almost out for summer. Stay strong! Teach with CF intensity! ;)Mr. Mirekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05873757843852564218noreply@blogger.com
