Emily - I like your plan to keep biking until 70 and beyond.

I can' t wait to find a bike club here and join in. I used to see them from "afar" and think i would never be one of those all duded up with spandex on scarry little thin tires!
Times have changed.

kpc - thanks for the idea of getting bone density test...great idea.
I was just in for my annual check up with my gyn. and she said my hemoglobin is really low too...WHAT GIVES! 8.something...it's always been on the low side but she said i will never make it through my training when such a low number let alone up hills and 700 miles of road. AHHHH! The wierd thing is, i have the energy of about 8 people. Bring on the spinach and meat!
Not to mention the yogart and milk!
Did i mention i'm 45...46 in March. (feeling like 30).
