Kicking Off 2012...

Yikes! Time is flying and I sent out my flyers before even getting a post up on here. It has been a busy year and I can't believe summer is already half way over. I have been busy with a number of things and it took a lot of effort to find the time to fit Pelotonia in.

Over the last few months I have felt too busy to ride or to fundraise. I come home from work and I'm tired. The heat is too intense this year. I moved to a new place. I've had a nightmare dealing with a car I bought... Then I realized the way I am talking reminded me of something. Check out the video that was released at the Pelotonia Opening Ceremony in 2011:



Excuses. We all have them.

At the end of the day, this ride and this cause are important to me and I want to do my part in the fight against cancer. Only three weeks ago, I had not raised a single dollar and I had only been out to ride twice. Since I decided to get over my excuses, I have ridden almost every day I have had available for a total of over 200 miles. I created my flyers and sent out about 80 of them. I have updated my Facebook and Twitter. And now I'm writing this post to get the blog rolling.

It wasn't easy to get all those things done, but then again participating in this cause is not supposed to be easy. There have been some late nights addressing envelopes and some early training mornings to beat the heat. I know it will be worth it when I cross the finish line in just under a month.

Thank you for reading and for your support!

I am almost positive I will be riding with Mayor Coleman tomorrow night in a ride that finishes at the Food Cart Festival. Look me up if you are down there...
