Team #2 - August 4 is More Challenge (Page 13)

Morning everyone.  Back at work today so I should be around a lot more - that is pretty bad huh?

Got a strength workout in on the way to work - thanks to the wife for waking me up at 4:00am with her heavy breathing (you know ladies don't snore right ) so I got out of the house early and hit the gym.

Run on tap tonight at football practice so all in all first week has been very good!

Finally (for now) - if you read Fat Cyclist blog - his wife Susan passed away from cancer.  If you have some free time drop a post in his blog - it was at 725 this morning already and he will read them all in due time.

Here is the link:

If you don't read his blog you might want to keep an eye on it - this guy is a warrior in the battle against cancer.  He loved Susan and showed it in all of his actions.

Happy Friday!!!  I'm planning to take a little swim before work today -- great way to start the day.  Then there's that w*** place, but then it's the weekend!  It sure feels like it's been a very long week...

Awfully quiet in here again.  Alright I am taking vacation (sneak attack - not really just want to see if that livens it up in here again )

Cheri - good luck on the race!  Today is perfect riding weather in Buffalo - low 70's, light wind, no snow, and no humidity.  But then again I think every day is perfect for riding.

Will rest my legs for the race tomorrow though as well.

Wow, Cherri, you were up early!  I slept in....again.  It's gonna really stink when the kids go back to school!  Today is a rest day.  Big BT ride tomorrow.  I'm looking forward to that.  Gonna be some new BTers there. 

Woke up a little earlier than usual, but not too much.  Just habit, I guess...

I'm taking the afternoon off and I'm going to go PLAY!  I'm tired of being here at w***.  I missed my bike ride yesterday because of work, so they are just going to have to do without me this afternoon!   But it's too hot to bike right now (and with the race tomorrow it doesn't make sense anyway), so I'm off to shop and go to the movies and have dinner with friends -- YAY!!!

ps.  NO CRASHING ALLOWED!

haha...that's hilarious...I raced someone elses bike a few weeks ago there and NEVER again...it had absolutely no breaks...great suspension and really nice bike...but geeeeez I had no choice but to just let go and GOOOOOO. Honestly that is how I used to race...key word is USED TO...I now am more careful. I will definitely fly in some sections. Thanks Stacie...I will do my very best not to crash, too! My biggest rule to follow in biking is to never pass yourself! that's never a good thing to do! not that I havent done it a few times...

I just read Stacie's reflections -- so insightful and inspiring!  I hope some of you take the time to go read them too.  She has quite the story to tell...  You know the old saying "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade"?  Well that's our Stacie through and through!

Also Gerald12 dropped due to injury so drop by and give him some encouragement if you get a chance.  I deleted him from the spreadsheet.
