Optimistic about Fun to be Had!
I’m optimistic to more riding in the days to come! (Still thinking about racing…)
The Things I See…
Signing to her favorite tune. Picking his nose. A heated arguement. Talking on her cell phone. Popping a zit (yuck!) Gazing a her new (?) engagement ring. Mom’s spacing out and the her son is focused on texting. It’s a amazing what I see when I’m commuting to and from work on my bike. Stop lights… Read More The Things I See…
Itching to Race
I know that my body isn’t ready to race…it’s just now starting to get used to working out again after the holidays. But after this weekend – I’m already considering a race in a few weeks.

I’m already behind on my small, bit sized increments (rain and travel have not been kind to my schedule)… and I have 5 days of travel next… Read More Biting off more than I can chew
Strava, Challenges and Goals
Yes. After every workout, I check my Strava account… checking to see if I did better today on a certain segment, what’s my placement, how many miles did I log, etc, etc… Now that I’m ‘focusing’ on my fitness – shouldn’t I have a goal? The coach in me tells me that my first goal… Read More Strava, Challenges and Goals
Getting Stupid
By now, we’ve all seen the studies that tout the benefits of regular cardiovascular exercise. The one that always catches my eye is the “increased in cognitive function and memory.” Although I’m no where near the age of testing this theory… I’ll for now believe that it’s true. All those punchy old women, that walked… Read More Getting Stupid
