The July Edition of BIT updates is coming a little late. I'm sorry. I like to do these right at the end of the month, but I got caught up with my last minute triathlon. Either way, here it is. Better late than never. Blogging Looking Back In case you missed it, in the last month here at BIT we talked about how to really celebrate your freedom, and my new-found productivity thanks to waking up early.

Last Minute Impossible Plans
It seems I couldn’t get enough of my first triathlon experience so yesterday I signed up for another one…this weekend. I’ll be running obliterating [my new word for finishing triathlons - thanks twitter-verse] the Indy Tri this Sunday downtown. It’s an official USAT event and it's listed as a Sprint triathlon. The distances? All over the place again – 500m swim 11.5 miles 3.1 mile run I’ve got to admit, I’m terribly confused on what qualifies as a ...

Spontaneous Roadtripping
Every once in a while I'll do something completely random at last minute notice. Three years ago I booked a ticket to Paris for 5 days, 24 hours before we left. Last summer I went to Jamaica for a month on 2 weeks notice. This past March on 24 hours notice, I went to Maui for Perry Marshall's exclusive internet marketing seminar. I LOVE these trips and for some strange reason, they keep happening... Last night I got a call from my good friend Jesse ...
