Game on! It’s time (well, behind time) to begin training seriously for the LIVESTRONG Challenge in Davis, CA. This is my 2nd year cycling to help fight cancer. The 2012 fundraising ride has been moved up 3 weeks to June 24. As of this writing, the event is only 56 days away, and I have not started putting in serious miles on the bike. I’m not worried about the 106 miles, but I should have started raising funds.

Fundraising for LIVESTRONG Challenge - 56 days out

I move into this training and fundraising phase with the utmost gratitude to EACH of you who helped me raise $1,745 in donations in my 106-mile LIVESTRONG 2011 ride. To top that off, we completed the 106 miles in 5 hours & 45 minutes!

I don’t have such grandiose goals this year, and I’m looking to raise at least $250.00 and complete the ride in 6 hours 15 minutes. (The time may be a little ambitious given I’m just getting over bronchitis and have been working more and traveling, which takes me away from training.)

All I have to do is look at last year’s photos to get motivated.

Twitter is not marriage! It's like dating

Twitter is like dating. You go out to see if you want someone in your life stream, or you unfollow if you don’t. Here’s what happened when I unfollowed someone.
