Back in the saddle
One of the greatest things that WLS has given me is the ability to ride my bike again. Last season, I was able to log over 3000 miles, culminating in the completion of the Seacoast Century 100 mile bike ride, which I did faster than I ever have before (that's where my avatar pic came from)!
In October, tragedy struck. My friend Anna, the wife of one of my best friends, lost her fight with non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. She was only 34 years old, the mother of a six year old little boy who never knew his mother as a healthy person, and one of the most amazing people I have ever had the honor to know.
I have decided to turn my re-discovered passion for cycling into a good thing in Anna's memory. I have joined Team in Training and will be completing the Bloomin' Metric 100km ride in May. My commitment is to raise $1800 for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
