This is a recap of the "blog" I started on my personal page of the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer. while I'll keep up the blog there, this one should be more detailed and perchance more interesting so stay tuned!
Monday, March 4, 2013 - I finally did it! I
registered for the ride (not without a bit of encouragement from someone
else as crazy as me)! :D 200KM of Canadian Rocky Mountain riding, here I
come! Stay tuned for updates along the way as I prepare for the ride
and work on my fundraising goal.
:D
Friday, Mar 08, 2013 - Thanks to Fleming Reid Petroleum Equipment Ltd.
for the donation of a stationary bike trainer! The bike is now set up
inside and ready to begin being ridden! You can see it on Facebook here:
See you on the trainer!
Monday March 11, 2013 - I figured that I would ride this AM, just didn't count on the time change doing a number on my sleep patterns.
Dragged myself out of bed at 6am, on the bike (inside trainer) at 6:15,
set up with a movie to keep me company. Well, the trainer is a bit loud
so headphones are going to be required. Fortunately I'm watching an
action-packed kung-fu movie! Forbidden Kingdom! At least I could enjoy
the fight scenes. :D
15 minutes of riding this AM before work, let's see what we can do after
work tonight. This may call for an odometer to track mileage since we
aren't actually going anywhere in the wee little 8'x8' room... :D
Stay tuned for the next ride!
Tuesday, March 12 - Alarm rang at 5:30am, finally managed to be up by
5:45. What is it about alarms that just get under your skin? Perhaps
the deep sleep that they drag you out of. :) On the bike by 5:50 and
rode for 20 minutes. The plan is to add 5 minutes per day (1 hour every
12 days until I am up to 6 hours every weekend day - by then outside).
Earbuds in place this morning to combat the noise of the stationary
trainer did the trick. Jackie Chan in Forbidden Kingdom is good company
for an indoor ride.
See you tomorrow!
