Ok, so I'm a novice when it comes to blogs but here I am starting one at the urging of a friend who will remain anonymous. You know who you are!:) Why am I doing this? Because having support to motivate myself when getting fit helps me. My goal is to ride the Wish-A-Mile bike tour in 2008. It's a tall order but why not try, right?
I have purchased a new road bike for the training and this event. Nothing fancy, just functional. There are a few other things on my list that I'm sure will trickle into the house as the summer starts to pass. Trust me when I say that I have a running list. When it all comes down to it though, it doesn't really matter unless I get on the bike and start riding.
So Saturday was my first real bike ride in a long time. 8.5 miles in 30 minutes. The route was pretty flat too. Ok, so it's a little short, slow, and easy but I have to start somewhere. I have to say that it felt pretty good! I'm looking forward to doing it again soon. I think that I will set up some type of weekly schedule to help keep me on track and motivated. Wish me luck!

Great job!!! I'm impressed! Of course, envious also but mostly just thrilled for you! You'll be a true athlete when it is all said and done and everyone will be so proud of you! Go for it girl! Love you bunches!
You Rock Girl! I think some wise-guy once said every journey starts with the first step... or something like that. Keep it up! Woo Hoo! Wish I could fit into some thinner pants, at least I am back into pre-2nd baby pants I guess that's a start! :)
