Week 11 Holiday Gift Wrapping

December 19-25
Swim 3000+ yards, Bike 30+ miles, Run 15+ miles

For fundraising, I spent several days holiday gift wrapping at Barnes & Noble. They allow local non-profits to come to their stores and take gift wrapping shifts where they give the supplies, but we wrap the gifts. So, I figured I would give it a try to see how much could be earned with tips from customers having gifts wrapped because it's a free service and the fundraising is through donation. It was fun, although not as busy as I would have liked. Still, it was a chance to share the cause with others and try something new. Here's a photo from the Redwood City store where I spent an evening before leaving to Seattle.



Not having done my training yet that day, I went home after wrapping and spent an hour on my bike trainer from 10-11pm inside spinning, knowing it would be impossible to train while in the car driving to Seattle. Being able to train is definitely one of the challenges when traveling. This photo was taken in the car on the drive from San Francisco to Portland of Mt. Shasta. It was a beautiful day to drive.
