Balancing career, parenting, chores, cycling..

[Bklynmom]

I was just sitting here thinking that I really should not be thinking about cycling and get back to working on my business project, but I can't resist participating in this great discussion. It is amazing that we all have such different lives and they all seem to be working pretty darn well.

I have just been able to fit serious cycling into my life, with the support and encouragement of my husband of 20 years, who has been able to take over our weekend baseball marathon with our 2 boys (9 and 13).

My career really helps it all work. About 10 years ago I quit my boring day job and followed my passion and eventually became a professional photographer. I shoot about 2 X a month and otherwise spend a fair ammount of time on the computer working on photos. Because I have the flexible schedule, I can ride when the kids are in school, and usually one long ride on the weekend.

And yes, my 13 year old does come up and say how proud he is that I rode 61.89 miles yesterday - that really rocks!
