    Congratulations!!!!!!!

    Way to go!!!
    I just checked out your weight loss blog and think that what you have accomplished so far is great. Congratulations on your first century. I did my first half century on Sunday and woke up with the flu on Monday - no wonder it was SO hard!!!

    I copied this off of your blog:
    THROW OFF everything that HINDERS and the sin that so easily entangles, and RUN with PERSEVERANCE the RACE marked out for me. Hebrews 12:1

    This is the very address of the scripture that started all consistent determination for weight loss for me. I so easily started strong with dieting and then flopped like a fish. If you don't have your sights on the end product - the finish of the race - then there will be no consistency, so discipline, and no determination. It really is the middle of the race (or diet, or century) that gets us to the end. That is where we are tested, tried, and refined. Physically and spiritually speaking. It is a great anchor to hold to.

    CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Your wife must be very proud of you! You must be very proud of you, too!

    And yesterday, I kept repeating that "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength".

    Now, my sights are set on the Ride Across INdiana - RAIN. It's 164 miles from Terre Haute to Richmond.

    Tell me about your Garmin, since I'm a toy junkie. Is it one for your bike or a bigger one?

    Garmin Edge 305, bike specific. Gadget-Queen here luvs it. Over in my century thread click on my link to the motion-based website and it will show SOME of what it does. I'm still learning it. You can also program in workouts, like intervals, courses, race against yourself on a previously done route. Fun, expensive toy.

    What!? Silverson doesn't get one too!

    Retail is $399, so even discounted it's gonna be more than 5. If you're gonna get it, get the whole 9 yards, HRM & cadence.

    For whom does the bell peal? It peals for thee!!! Awesome
    (Maybe the bell hill was the 22%? Or maybe the technology misready things).
