the cycle of life....(continues on and on)

so i am taking the rest of this week off of riding to get ready for the relay...and i have to say...i am really missing it....it's just not the same driving to work now...and i worked so hard to not put any miles on the car, and as i watch them rack up...i feel disappointed...

this is a great new feeling...i feel very responsible for my own carbon emissions...and that was the point...we all do things everyday that are not that great… Continue

the cycle of life....(continues)

so now that i have been doing this for a couple of weeks...i am getting much faster...i actually made it to work today in about 23 minutes...it used to take me anywhere from 16 to 17 to drive here....so i really have not lost that much time...

the cycle of life....(updated)

so here i am on my third day of biking to work and it just keeps getting better....

one of the best things about riding to work in the morning is not having that one hour lag....it used to be, every morning when i would get here it would take me a good 90 minutes to wake up....but now, since i am riding in, i am wide awake from the start....it's amazing the difference it makes getting that blood flowing first thing in the… Continue

the cycle of life....

it seems like everytime i turn around i hear someone talking about going green...but i rarely see many people actually follow through....not only is it easy to say you're going green, but once you sit down and decide to follow through it can be a little overwhelming...there is just too much to do it all at once....so i have decided to take it one step at a time...and i am starting with one big step...well, more like one big… Continue

24 Hours! Relay For Life 2009 UPDATE!

It is time once again for the American Cancer Society's Relay For Life! And, just like last year, I am going to attempt the entire 24 hour walk!

Now I will be the first to tell you, I tried this last year..and sadly, I failed. It was a very hard pill to swallow. I had to bow out for about two hours right in the middle. Now most people tell me that I walked 22 hours and that is enough, but not for me. I insist on conquering the… Continue
