30 year class reunion



I just wanted to post a quick note about my class reunion. Even though I was a bit bruised and battered, I sure did feel great about my weight. I don't want to forget what I would have felt like if I had not lost the weight and if I didn't feel healthy. I'm not sure if I would have even attended the reunion. What a difference a year makes! (Not quite a year, but who's counting?) I admit though that I am getting a little discouraged with how slow my recovery has been. I know, I know it just takes time, but I'm ready to get going...my body isn't though. But all in all...Still feeling Blessed!!

Mountain Biking is not for wimps! :)



Well...this is how I spent my Labor Day. :) I tried out mountain biking on a trail on the north side and didn't make it far before my sense of adventure totally overruled my intellect. Oops!!! To make a long story short here's the concise version... Went over the side of the ramp instead of the ramp itself (about a 5-6 foot drop), landed on my head and face, totally unconscious for 5 minutes, semi conscious for awhile after that, ER, no broken bones, pain, lots and lots of ice packs, don't remember much but had a sense of humor throughout. I guess I need a little more practice on that mountain bike before my first adventure race. This might slow down the training a bit. :) I am feeling sore, finding new bruises daily, but mostly feeling very very blessed! Hope you had a great Labor Day Weekend too!
