Jesus lives in Tennessee and Gearing up....(pun intended)




After a long hike yesterday I took it easy today and did some stretching,
some light strength training and rode my bike to pick up some groceries 
from my favorite local store Sunny Farms! 
It's a flat easy ride that gets you outside
without to much of a strain on the body! 

A few weeks ago I spotted this bike outside the store! 
I remember purchasing a small license plate for my daughter for her bike 
when she was a child! I'm pretty sure, but not positive, that the owner of 
this bikes name wasn't Jesus! I do admire that he is willing
to witness his belief publicly. In a world full of political correctness to 
put yourself out there can be viewed as someone who is crazy! 
Well my friends, I hope Jesus lives in Tennessee.
 I hope He also lives in Washington State, Hawaii and all around world!



They say that when you publicly commit to a 
plan it makes it harder to abandon.
Tomorrow marks the beginning of a journey. 
I will begin training to complete my 
first Ultramarathon. I will continue to ride my bike 
at least one day a week for cross training and recovery.  
I will focus on my nutrition, training plan, stretching 
and strength all in an attempt to reach my goal. 
Having completed four marathons 
completing a 50K isn't a far stretch. But it will be the start.....

As you can see I'm not very consistent with blogging!

Life has many speeds and mine always seems to be in overdrive! There are many things I'd like to find the time to do but never seem to work it out and blogging is one of them! I have found several blogs that I enjoy following so just keeping up on the reading is a challenge!

Winter was rough this year and not conducive to riding! I managed a few times but spent most of my exercise allotment training for another marathon which I completed in March!

With the arrival of better weather and the temporary reprieve of some responsibilities for the summer I anticipate riding more often!

May was National Ride to Work month and I did manage to ride a few times! I love the mountain views on the ride. However, this photo does not do them the justice they deserve! Blame it on the phone!
