now I'm in for it

Hey, everyone - I haven't been posting, or even visiting much at all. I couldn't afford the time, and the posting of accidents was having a neg. effect on me, so I went away. Missed you and thought of you all often, though. I just wanted to let you know that LLB has done herself proud though this whole indoor training season, to the point that the trainer said the "R" word to me last week. As in, save this date (May 26) for your first race. Ok, many of you know how just about 2 years ago, I was struggling to do 3 miles on my hybrid! Will I really race? I don't think so, but I'm not saying no. My road skills are still newborn-fawnlike, but if Chip is willing to give me some road training....well....bicycles = miracles, eh?

Hey LLB!

I haven't been here much either - full time job + full time puppy + full time husband.

I think just working towards a goal is good! If you race, great. If you don't race, great. You've had all of that training behind you!

Covert Bailey says that people who train for a marathon and never run it are much healthier than those who run it. People who actually run it (according to his research) come down with more colds, etc., after the event.
