Need to get outside...



Well, I have been on the trainer since November, and I can't stand it much anymore. Therefore, Kate and I have decided for my training, we will have to move to a more temperate climate. This house looked pretty nice, so we thought we would give this place a try.

Yes folks, the Kaufmans are heading to the nations capital for a little while. I really didn't want to tell you guys this way, but with our wives having drinks tonight, I know that she would have let it out anyways.

While my position is permanent in DC, we are expecting this to be a 2-5 year move. We still want Fisch to grow up in MN, but we figured this was the one window of time that if we could move for a little bit, it would be now.

We are very excited and scared right now. This could be great, or it could completely backfire in many ways. I know I will like the work that I will be doing, but living in DC for us will be difficult in some ways. Missing family and friends will be the toughest thing. But I think it will be good to grow for a little bit.

Anyways, I will be reporting in Mid-Late Feb. Kate will probably be here a while with trying to wrap up things here.

More to come, but just wanted to let you guys know.

Anyone know any tri coaches in the DC area?

I love the commitment to training - topnotch stuff right there. The rest of us should take this as the bar: if you don't like your training situation move your family > 1,000 miles to accomodate. Seriously, congratulations - I am happy for you.

Congratulations. I mean, this totally sucks that you're leaving, but congratulations.

Wow man, congratulations. That sucks that you'll be leaving, but sounds like it is a good move for you and the family.
