Thoughts are with you from half a world away, Emily
I'm guessing you must be there about now
Barry and the crew are good people - glad you have them

Courage does not always roar. Sometimes, it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"I will try again tomorrow".

Okay gals, here's the update!
Check it out here:

It'll be awhile yet before I can ride outdoors, but I knew that. Still, I've come unbelievably far in eight weeks, and I get to use resistance on the trainer today! I never thought I'd be so happy to hear that!
Thanks again for all the support, and I'll keep ya' posted!

P.S. Nuthatch, I love the image of being protected by my buddies from "canine interference".

Yeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaa resistance on the trainer - can you say "progress"? I knew you could! Way to go Em and keep it up hun.
And I"m with you - I Love the visual of you surrounded by all these big burly guys snarling and snapping at anything coming even Close to you!......do ya got a yellow jersey for your first ride??...the pix would be priceless!!!Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand, strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming: "Yeah Baby! What a Ride!"

Oh yes, I do have a yellow jersey or two! Might have to wear it for fun! I suspect a lot of the riders will be women, plus a guy on a recumbent trike (he's the one who came up with the idea). I told Barry he would have to ride his Bike Friday with all four panniers loaded with STUFF so he could go nice-n-slow for me!

Good for you Emily,
I am glad to hear you are doing so well. Although you have been working out very hard and you are entitled to the rewards.
I read your site and you are so right. You do not look like you are injured kayaking at all. We never tried kayaking, but it sure looks nice and the water looks so peaceful.
What a wonderful idea that person from you bike club had. What a nice group you must ride with. I will look forward to reading how that ride goes. I know it is a little ways off, but time does have a habit of going quickly.
Continue on your great progress.
~JoAnn
