Eight weeks to Challenge '08


This week marks the 8 week count down till the Challenge. To date I've been good about my swimming and even weight lifting - they cycling has however been pretty lax. Not to worry I am in a much better spot this year than last! I'll be kicking the training into high gear and am looking forward to going to some spinning classes in addition to the other cycle training.


Donation requests are being sent, and the donations have started - it's such a great motivational tool too! I am also planning a special LiveStrong Day fundraising auction to end on LiveStrong Day, May 13th, stay tuned for details. There will be bunny things AND non-rabbit type items available in the auction. All proceeds will go to the LAF and be counted as part of my fund-raising goal. Don't keep it a secret - let your friends and family know!

New Challenge

I can't believe my last post was in September, how time flies! So much has happened since then. The LiveStrong Challenge ride was awesome, so much so that I signed up again! This year's ride in Portland will take place in June; I am hopeful that there will be sun instead of constant rain on the ride. I am in a much better position this year for the challenge and will begin the formal training plan this week. Last year I only got in a total of five weeks worth of training, this year I will have 12.

Stay tuned for progress reports!
