In my ongoing quest to maintain a healthy balance between CrackBerry addiction and other parts of my life, I have named 2007 to be my Year of Fitness. So far I have been doing pretty well - in the cold winter months I managed to exercise regularly at the gym and 98.6% of the time have even been able to pass up the Golden Arches in favor of healthy homecooked eats.
But now that spring is sprung and summer is nearly here I figure it's time for me to kick it up a notch and get outdoors and enjoy mother nature as much as possible.
And it seems my 2007 Summer of Fitness is off to a good start - I took my first outdoor jog this past Sunday by entering into the Winnipeg Iron Cops Half Marathon relay. Along with another blackberry-using friend, we each ran 6.5 miles (half of a half marathon). And in addition to raising money for the Canadian Cancer Society, we also managed to raise some CrackBerry.com awareness by finishing 2nd place! Check out the Results - notice the team named CrackBerry.com?!?! The crowd loved our team name and our 2nd place award was presented by the city's police chief, who was very interested to learn what CrackBerry.com was all about.
Spreading the CrackBerry.com word, being healthy, and raising money for Charity - it seems like a no brainer to me.
Which means it's time for a CrackBerry.com FITNESS CHALLENGE.
Are you entering any fundraising fitness events in the next few months? Can you enter under a team name?
If so, I challenge you to enter your team name as "CrackBerry.com". Let's show the world that BlackBerry Addicts not only love their devices, but love helping others out as well.
Use this thread to keep me informed - are you taking up the CrackBerry.com fitness challenge? Let us know when and where and how you did. Send me the results links to prove it! Can you raise funds for your charity online? Post the link here and let's see if our loyal CrackBerry.com members can help you raise some funds! Did you finish top 3? If so, I'll be sure to have some BlackBerry goodies heading your way. Remember, the team name has to be CrackBerry.com!
Keep Fit, Help Out, Spread the CrackBerry.com word,

Well Done
In addition, as you are (some of you already) aware i am training to ride London - Paris over 3 days in August. I aim to do 85+ miles per day. I had already chosen to do the ride for Tommy's Childrens Charity.
There is no reason why i couldnt incorporate the name of Crackberry.com somewhere in there, maybe we could get some team kit going Kevin!
