To get the TRAINING PAYNES ball rolling

Training Payne here. Yes I'm back, sorta, kinda, not really.

I was with Adena "She Said I need a Goal" @adena_tri today. I was asked to talk about my triathlon experiences at a local triathlon club and she and Fran @JohnWProc - "Lord of The Chainrings blog"'s better half came to watch.

As we sat and talked before hand, Adena said she already missed the blog and came up with the idea of having a blog that the Training Payne blog followers could author to update what Training Payne is up to via Twitter posts or Training Payne sightings.

I thought that was a great idea and even thought it could go one step further. What about "embellishing or completely fabricating" Training Payne stories. Perhaps YOU have a story of something you did that you wouldn't ever want the world to know, but using the Training Payne Alias you could tell the world your story and hopefully make them laugh or cry or inspire or motivate.

The concept is to keep the spirit of Training Payne alive and entertain ourselves each day. This way guys like Doru would have something to read in the morning and John Barclay before bed time.

From time to time I may even post. Perhaps you don't have a blog, but want to tell how you overcame it and Sucked it UP and did it, or you got wicked drunk drunk and have a funny story to tell, or something in between.

The new blog website is www.trainingpaynes.blogspot.com  (I added an s to payne, pretty cleaver hun).

I've sent invites out to a few people to give them authoring access to the blog. If YOU want access, it's really easy, just email me your email address at brybrarobry@me.com and I'll add you to the list. The best part is your anonymous, actually "YOUR" Training Payne. Which is perfect, even C.C. can participate.

So, it's now kicked off, I'm not sure if it will take of or not. Time will tell and if you want to have a fun blog to read, then "take the bull by the horns" and write a post, or drop a photo or video. The more each of you put into it the better. And don't be shy, embellishment and exaggeration is fine. I'll take "no offence", I just want a good laugh, or cry, or motivation, or inspiring like the rest of us.

Again, the only requirement is you tell stories that you think are TRAINING PAYNE WORTHY. If you need inspiration, you can visit and read posts from the Original Training Payne blog.

Hopefully the best part will be the comments. It will be interesting to see what, or if, anything happens next.

LETS KEEP THE TRAINING PAYNE SPIRIT AND COMMUNITY ALIVE!!!

And YES, I did get earrings this week. Both ears. So let the GAY begin.
