Hello all
I am finally logging back on the site after a roller coaster year. As I told you last summer my DBF was diagnosed w/ cancer last July so I dedicated the year to him.
We were winning the fight against the cancer - his tumor shrunk from 13.5 cm to 4cm in 6 months. But he was one of the unlucky 3% to develop an allergic reaction to the chemo and passed away the beginning of May from a brain aneurysm.

Finally last Monday I got back on my bike. I have been trying to rebuild my running, lose the weight I gained (I gained what he lost) and will eventually get back in the pool. This year is going to be a rebuilding year w/ my sights set on next season.

BTW coming into last week I only had 129 miles on my new baby I purchased at the end of last summer (Specialized Ruby expert). I did a 24 mile practice run then did a 3 day tour of 162 miles
Took her out again tonight for a 23 mile run and I have decided I am going to LOVE her. I have been practicing using aero bars and LOVE them. The bike still needs some tweaking but she is AWESOME ! ! !

So anyway I am BACK ! ! ! Now I need to go catch up on the posts to see what everyone is and has been doing
