My legs hurt. Sunday, my wife and I participated in the Portland Triathalon. We plus a friend were a relay team - Peace swam a mile in the Willamette River, I biked 24 miles, then our friend Tina was supposed to do the 10K run. Thing is, Peace is "slow and steady" in the water. She did the mile in an hour and a half, and was the last one out of the water. I'm not complaining - most of us, myself included, couldn't swim a mile in open water at any speed. She had been training for weeks, and knew exactly how long the swim would take her. When she was back on land, it was my turn to hop on my bike and ride - I was the last one on the road. I rode the 24 miles. (I hadn't been training for the ride - in fact, I hadn't been on my bike for weeks. Which is why my legs hurt now.) Anyway, when I made it back to the transition area to pass the relay on to Tina, the race organizers told us to stop - we were so far behind that it was time to close the running course. Tina didn't get to run, and we were disqualified from the race. But I got a t-shirt and this ache in my legs, so it wasn't a complete loss :)

New Printable Flyers
|
I've added 40 new, free flyer designs to PrintableFlyerTemplates.net, ranging from for-sale announcements to business ads to party signs.
My goal with this site has always been to make it fast and easy for people to print the flyers they need, typing into a template to customize it rather than having to create their own from scratch. It's a real time- and money-saver for businesses, nonprofits, schools, and so on. Many of the flyers are illustrated so it's easy to see from a distance what it's about. Some are full-color while others are black-and-white. Just pick the flyer you need, download it, and customize it in Microsoft Word or another DOC-compatible program and print as many times as you need. They're all free!PrintableFlyerTemplates.net has dozens of flyers for advertising a business or services as well as lots of lost and found flyers
, party and event flyers, and a selection of real estate flyers.The new flyers include: a babysitting flyer, ads seeking band members, new for-sale signs, flyers announcing business events, party posters, and signs offering services such as lawn mowing, odd jobs, and child care. There are now 120 flyers to choose from, with more on the way. Please send me your ideas for more!

With a new school year in full-swing, I've added several more sets of prompts, for both essay-writing and non-fiction.Everything on the site is free, and organized by category and then grade level. There are writing prompts intended for exercises in creative writing, essays, persuasive writing, and holiday-themed writing.
There's a new category of prompts for literature-based essay writing, and it includes topics for elementary, middle, and high school levels. I've also added nonfiction writing prompts up to the college level. To use a set of prompts, just click on its listing at FreeWritingPrompts.net. Then you can simply copy paste from the web browser menu or download the set in DOC format, so you can open the prompts in Microsoft Word and even customize them before printing.FreeWritingPrompts.net is just one of my FreePrintable.net sites dedicated to teaching and education.
