Catching up



No doubt the busier you get the more likely your computer will start acting up! I’ve had a few technical difficulties this past couple of weeks but hopefully (fingers crossed) those are behind me for now.
So let’s see, to catch up, I had the wonderful opportunity to speak at the Governor’s Conference on Women’s Health in Orlando at the end of May and headed down for some deep sea fishing in the Dominican Republic.
So far this month I’ve barely caught my breath. I started with a couple days at CATS summer camp in Boulder, CO. This is the 3rd year I’ve helped teach balance beam and do a special clinic with the campers. I had a great time, as always, and it was a good way to ease into the summer. Next I headed to New York City to be inducted into the International Women’s Sports Hall of Fame. It was such an amazing evening. It’s very humbling to look out and see so many amazing women athletes who gathered for the event. The next morning I headed to a speech in New Jersey for Mediacom. I spoke about setting goals, winning everyday and keeping your passion alive. It was a great group of people and they were amazingly awake after having had their hotel evacuated at 1:30am that morning!
After the speech I headed on to State College for Woodward East Gymnastics camp. I spent another couple of days visiting with the girls and teaching more of my favorite, balance beam. I even got to sneak in a little beam work of my own as I try to get in shape for an upcoming 40-city tour.
From there it was on to Philadelphia to promote the US Olympic Trials that will be coming to Philly June 19-22. I finally made it home yesterday (Friday) and picked up my laptop from the Geek Squad today. Yeah!
So now that we’re all caught up on my lovely travel schedule we can get down to the important stuff — the actual gymnasts!!! In my next blog we’ll recap Nationals and see what’s going on as we lead up to the Olympic Trials this week.

With your schedule being as busy as it is, I hope you’ve got a nice long vacation planned sometime soon! If you keep it up your batteries are gonna need a serious recharge! Especially after a tour taking you to 40 different cities! Speaking of the tour… Where’s my free tickets? lol just kidding!

It’s so true that the busier you are, the more likely your computer is to decide to take a little hiatus.
Sounds like a hectic time for you, but I’m thrilled to hear you’ll be going on tour again. I will be first in line to buy tickets for any stop in or near Houston.
I can’t wait for Olympic Trials. At the time they will be contested, I will be on a cruise ship, but I plan to pay for internet access just so I can see the results of the trials. Yes, I am addicted to gymnastics:)

Hey Shannon,
Congratulations on both Hall of Fame inductions. I’m so glad that you decided to tour again. Any of the dates in or around NYC?
P.S. good luck with the computer, I know how hard it is to get through the day when it acts up.

Shannon,
Are you wearing the new Nikken TriPhase Sport Bracelet “Shannon Miller Special Edition” in the top left picture? I saw it for the first time yesterday and it looks awesome, and the fact that a portion of the profits go to the Shannon Miller foundation - Bringing Awareness To Childhood Obesity is great.
Have a great week,
Jeff
