Thanks, Allez. I'm of the opinion, too, that you can do anything you set your mind to.

I guess the real question is would I enjoy it if I didn't ride between now and then!?

The boot camp is leaving me very very tired, which means to me I'm not taking in enough calories. I came home and had to have a nap at 10 am yesterday. This also why I think I may have low iron more often than not. I feel good today, though.

However, the whole point of the boot camp is to break this weight plateau I have been on for months, so I'll have to be extra careful about upping my calories. I did get a compliment about my weight just now (but it was from a lady who walks her dog up to meet my dogs at the gate several times a day, but couldn't remember that my other dog died in March, so how credible can she be? )

Thanks for your confidence in me, KG! I think I will try to work in some rides. We're going camping this weekend on a mountain that has some nice MTB trails. I'll be the only one there with a bike, but I don't mind riding alone. That'll help.
