Only a Month Left To Go!!

..And my nerves are getting the best of me!

Today was a successful bike ride for me. I travelled about 25 miles today, and tomorrow I plan to do a lot more.

I have about a month left before the BIG MS 150 ride from Houston to Austin. This is a two day ride starting from April 16-17. I feel like I'm behind in my training, but I'm confident that I will be able to finish the race. If I knew that this ride would cost as much as it does, then I would've thought longer before I decided to ride. It's too late to turn back now. I have to push forward and achieve one of the biggest accomplishments in my life. Below is a picture of the bike I have:

The bike is blue with red accent. I had a similar bike to this before, but I got hit by a car. The bike flipped 50 ft. up in the air and I feared for my life!!

Just kidding.

But a car did hit my previous bike. Luckily I was not on it (I hopped off it just in time). The gentlemen that hit my bike was SOOOO generous and thoughtful that he replaced the damaged bike with the bike I have now. I could not believe it! This act of kindness has definitely allowed me to not lose a step in my training. This also goes to show me that there are good people in this world.

I will post more pictures of me on my actual bike in my next post, but below are pictures of me on my last bike...may she R.I.Parts:

Now off to watch Criminal Minds with K.D. Good night!

The Greatest Ride of My Life

During my time on this Earth, I always look to set personal goals for myself throughout life, and work hard until those goals are achieved. I feel like I’m wasting my life away if I don’t have something on the horizon, or if I don’t have a goal that I am ‘currently working on’. So I thought to share what my current goal in life is: to ride in the BP MS 150. What is the BP MS 150 you ask and why is your current goal to ride in it? Follow me...

Here is a 'blurb' from my MS 150 page on what it is all about and why I ride (with more clarifying info):

"The BP MS 150 is a bike ride from Houston, TX to Austin, TX (approximately 150-180 miles). It has always been a goal of mine to do something of this magnitude. I always admired marathon runners and there endurance to finish the race. This is what I'm determined to do: finish the race. I also want to help in the race for support for people with multiple sclerosis. Although the fight for curing multiple sclerosis may be an uphill battle, we together can make a difference by helping the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and their research efforts.

The National MS Society efforts go a long way in a progressive disease that affects the lives of 400,000. In addition to a personal goal of mine, I decide to ride for the members of our society living with multiple sclerosis. "

In additional to riding, I have a personal goal of helping with the fundraising efforts for the society by personally raising $400. This money will go to the National MS Society and their efforts to find a cure for this disease and to treat individuals who live with multiple sclerosis.

Here is the link to my personal page. Please support my efforts by making a donation.

I will have more info later on this, but thought I share with you on what I'm doing NOW, in addition to waiting on little KC to be born....

What are your current goals, big or small?
