After my White Mesa ride over the weekend, I decided to take Labor Day off – no labor for me. It felt great. I committed to riding 400 miles in September on one of the popular cycling forums so I figured that I had just better shoot for 20 miles every day. However; a short… [Read More]
103 Miles!
Happy Labor Day! I’m busting at the seams today! Last week, I rode a total of one hundred and three miles!!! Call it a Century-Week ride! Ha! About the only thing I did any different than previous weeks (89 and 85 miles, respectively) was to cut out the rest days. I guess that makes sense… [Read More]
28 Miles
I’m sure your well aware… I’m cycling for fitness, fun, and to reclaim my life. Know what?? I am making progress!! I’m certainly having fun and getting into the ‘competition with self’ aspect. I may even ride in a local “challenge” event to see what that feels like… more on that later. The thing that… [Read More]
Fat
I’ve been reading FatCyclist.com lately. Fatty (his title) has a bunch of really great thoughts and one that I really, really like is the reason for his blog. As I understand it, he started posting his weight for accountability purposes – to himself and his readers. I think many of the problem that Fatty cites are… [Read More]
Healthy Eating
I am slowly learning that healthy eating is more than a simple checklist to be followed… This is a post a wrote on June 22, 2012 but didn’t publish. For whatever reason, I just wasn’t quite ready to share it – I am now. Want to see something really cool?!? Take a look at this!… [Read More]
Cycling
I’ve been sorely in need of exercise. Yes, I’m loosing weight. However; it seems that everyone in the know will tell you that a healthy body requires exercise. I could argue that my fingers dance across a keyboard all day long and that should be plenty of exercise… but we all know that isn’t true…. [Read More]
Anxious Heart
An anxious heart weighs a man down, but a kind word cheers him up. – Proverbs 12:25 See if you can find someone to cheer up today! 🙂
Like Children
“I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” – Mark 10:15 I was at a study a few weeks ago where one person was really hung up on understanding every Biblical concept. I really enjoy historical context and word studies but… [Read More]
Flying Pet Peeves
I guess it is bound to happen. Get a group of people together all doing the same thing and someone is going to do something that you don’t like. I’m guilty and am probably annoyed way to easily. These are some pet peeves related to flying. Asking if there is anyone in the pattern. Listen… [Read More]
Not Human??
Sadly, I have failed the test – I am not human. I thought I was but apparently not. I tried to register myself on a forum/message board today and could not pass the two “prove you are a human” questions. They seemed easy enough but after SIX attempts, I gave up. I’d tell you which forum… [Read More]
