Punches

It's not about how hard you can punch. It's about how hard you can get punched and keep moving forward.

1,000 MILES!

Once again it has been way too long since I’ve blogged.  I wish I would spend more time on here and less time on Facebook.  If only I could blog while riding my bike at the same time…maybe I need a GoPro for the top of my bike helmet?!?  Although I’m only cycling a few miles from our townhome the views are spectacular.  Since my knee is still hurting, technically I’m going at a slow enough pace that I should be able to grab some shots of the vineyards, snow-capped mountaintops, and squawking peacocks that I pass.  I'll work on that!

I’ve decided to use this blog as my cycling journal this summer.  Some people make resolutions in January but I’ve decided to make a “summer cycling” goal.  My goal is to ride 1,000 miles in 3 months (June 21-September 22).  I figure the more official I make the goal the more likely I will be to achieve it. 

So far I’ve cycled 131 miles.  The weather in June wasn’t really cooperating with my cycling schedule.  But July is off to a much better start.  I’ve recently bought a new bike and jersey so I have no excuse to not get out there…and crush those miles! Ha!

Here is my new Jersey from Georgetown Brewery.  Love that Manny's!  JM caught me before my smile.  When I reach my goal I will make sure to celebrate with some cold Mannys.

I guess if I will be riding my bike alone more often now...I better learn how to change a flat tire.  Minor detail ;)
