Oh June was a long, hard month. I think I had an easier time in February than I did in June. I definitely exercised more in February. But now we’re into July and getting a little more sun than rain (thank God!). And at last, my class is [...]
LIVESTRONG fan? Yeah, me too. They have a great message, a great cause, a legend of a representative, and some darn good marketing to boot. I have a bunch of LIVESTRONG gear from my past three LIVESTRONG Challenge events. Hats, t-shirts, cycling jerseys, and of course, that famous yellow wristband (I have a box of [...]
OK, I’m starting to get it. Twitter seemed like a pointless source of senseless talk…..just noise, until you turn the knob just so. Now I’m picking up good reception. I’m following LIVESTRONG, Lance Armstrong, and Tim Johnson, as well as a few other friends and business interests of mine. It’s cool. I dig it. And [...]
Is it true? Lance Armstrong leaving retirement to compete in the Tour de France? Sources say YES. Somehow this isn’t completely surprising to me. He did the Leadville 100 and placed 2nd. He’s been running marathons. Some would say he was born to do this. And wouldn’t this make a little more history? A little [...]
Sorry folks, I planned to post about this sooner but we left Philly LIVESTRONG and headed right to Delaware to visit friends. LIVESTRONG was a truly amazing day, and the seventy miles was a lot of fun. Yes, I did say fun. I chatted with a lot of very nice folk, and almost got a [...]
I’m back from LIVESTRONG Philly where Heather and I completed 70 strenuous miles through Montgomery and Berks Counties. The weather was perfect and with my multitude of mechanical issues successfully resolved, I could concentrate on just riding my bike.
We got a late start–they delayed our “release” by about 30 minutes. Heather & I got stuck [...]
I told the General last night that I would clean the house today because I had the day off. I was heading out to meet the BCC crew for a 1530 (3:30 pm Karen) start time. We were meeting at our newest member’s residence and it was going to be a 20 minute bike ride [...]
We’re ramping up quickly to the event that has defined us for the better part of the year–the LIVESTRONG Challenge in Philadelphia. I expected to blog more about some of the personal stories and people that compel me to participate in this event, like my mom (breast cancer) or my old high school/college boyfriend (testicular [...]
Yes, the ability to breathe through one’s nose is a very important skill for biking. At the moment, it is one I do not possess. The sneezing started yesterday and by last night I finally admitted I had the damn cold. With only three rides logged for the month of August, and LIVESTRONG right around [...]
