My life is ANYTHING but routine. My career is spent in spikes, as I am training for a decathlon. My office is found 15 feet above the ground while pole vaulting, 6 feet off the ground while high jumping, and at full tilt while skimming hurdles! I have canoed the Amazon. I have traveled to the Ukraine, Peru, El Salvador, Guatemala and Costa Rica on self funded adventures. In each of those places I have done public speaking and public service! For me, life is about putting it on the edge daily. Complacency and comfort zones have no place in my daily itinerary. 6 a.m.: To the track to train (I'm a decathalete) 10 a.m.: Ride my bike to the coffee shop and read (I'm a theologian and writer) 12 p.m.: Often spend my lunch with the
local homeless (The less fortunate are EVERYONE'S responsibility) 1 p.m.: Go for a quick kayak to relax in the
river (I can't get enough of the water) 3 p.m.: Back to the track
for my second round of training 7 p.m.: Try something new
(I love experimenting with new foods) 9 p.m.: The Adventurous need their rest!
