July 19 - A Family Event

Tangent: I need to raise $116 everyday from now until September 1 to reach my goal - have you contributed yet? Thanks for your help!

As planned, today was the bike at the Y. Rachael figured she might as well go also, as Anna Ryan had the entire house up and going well before 7am. Rachael took yesterday off also as she has a sore knee. Her running today caused her more problems, but then she ended up on the bike next to me and was able to ride for 20 minutes with no problems. I hope she is going to be able to participate in all of this fun. I hope we know soon, but no telling when she will actually go see a doctor.

I rode this morning for about 42 minutes and covered 11 miles. I am more convinced that bike riding is my event and when I do this next time, I am choosing a Century Ride. If only I could find a more comfortable seat or shift some of the fat from my gut to my butt for a little padding.

On a somber note, Phillip Estes joined the Lord last night, Friday, July 18. I don't know the Estes family; I just followed their story after his wife posted on Jason's Caring Bridge site. Another victim of this cruel disease. Please lift the Estes family up in prayer.

Cumulative miles since the start of training: 37.85 miles
