Biking to Work

I am biking to work today.  I am very excited about this.  It takes a great deal of preparation for the first time you do this - well, since last year.  Yesterday I brought into my office an extra outfit (complete with underwear and shoes), and hung that behind the door on a hanger.  I brought in breakfast for today - that is in the fridge.  I put together a new make up bag to leave at work.  I already have a hair dryer and curling iron, and too many other little odds and ends to mention, stashed away in my desk.  

I am so grateful to be healthy enough to do this today.

I am also grateful that I am once again looking at half-marathons in Hawaii.  I think I am going to do this.  I have been to 49 states, but not Hawaii.  Traveling with a race as your destination is a lot of fun.  It would give me a wonderful goal to work towards.  I shall see.  It is expensive!

Wish me a safe trip to work - I will never forget the ride on August 19, 2005 which netted me a broken rib or two... and ultimately led me to start this blog.  I couldn't run, I couldn't bike, I couldn't do any of the things I loved, so I sat staring at my computer, and 3 years and 9 months later, here I still am!
