Good intentions....

Well I wanted to start this blog to give insight to my life living with MS and training for the fundraising event the MS 150. I had good intentions to get this going before now but life and fatigue has not allowed it to happen. Now we are at the point of 29 days before the MS 150 and this is my first entry. Hopefully this will be more about the cycling training from newbie rider with a little bit about having MS splashed in here.

My husband and I have done the MS150 for years. I should say my husband has done it for numerous year and I've been hit or miss due pregnancys or just delivery but this year is different. I would say more thought and effort has been put into this year for me than years past. I would say that one of the reason for this is that I got the bug. The love of riding on a bike on my own. Years past Jeremy and I have riden a tandem bike due to me not being able to keep up with him. Last year during the MS150 I got a taste of riding a single bike when my sister rode the tandem with Jeremy.

That prompted us to make a single bike purchase for me so this year I would be able to train and do the entire 150 miles on a single bike along side my husband on his single bike. Although Jeremy didn't mind riding the tandem with me, I know that he is excited about riding along side of me instead of directly infront of me.

My new toy - I love it!!!

Someone should've told Jeremy that getting me this bike would have had his wife totally invade his hobby. I don't think he minds that much as long as I can keep up, which I'm working hard at doing.

This is a little extra toy that we got. I'm having fun with it. I'm attempting to photograph it while riding therefore had to slow down to get the photo. My bike handling skills are not that great yet but are getting better with each ride that I do. As for the toy I get to see how fast I'm going, how far I've gone and how fast my heart is going. I love this toy too because I'm numbers oriented person and that way I can tell if I'm improving.
