tc's gear

community. wiki says:

The word community comes from the Latin communis, meaning "common, public, shared by all or many."

common, public and shared by all. that has been the hallmark of the fitness blogging community. from triathletes diving into the water for the very first time to ultra marathoners with several western state buckles, we've become a community that has a common focus and goal, publicly expresses opinions, tips and results and shares in the roller coaster that is training and racing.

in that vein, i'm asking for community to take part in the first steps of raising a boy in a healthy, fitness focused lifestyle. as most of you know, smsmh and i will be adopting baby thunderclap newman smith on may 31st of this year. typically, there are baby showers and baby registries for friends and family. when i think about my friends and family, the fitness blogging community has evolved into a integral part of MY family, MY friends. so, in that vein, i've set up a chip-in account to let my friends and family that have made fitness a part of their lives make fitness a part of tc's life.

i've selected a baby jogger and bike trailer that i'd like to let the blogging world purchase for tc. every run that we take him on, every ride that he cruises through will have been brought to him by my community; the community that has seen the importance of fitness as a lifestyle. click the widget in the upper right hand corner of the main blog page to 'chip-in'!

smsmh, thunderclap and i thank you!
