FIGHTING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE

OK, so this video has nothing to do about cycling or The Ride to Conquer Cancer, but it is so inspiring and shows that anything is possible. Click on the link below to watch it.

Challenge yourself to make a difference.

BIG LIGHTS WILL INSPIRE YOU

In NY for Thanksgiving. Been running lots and eating even more. Shopping counts as cardio work too doesn't it?

MISSING BICYCLE REPORT

My commuter bike was stolen last night. Over 3 years living in TO and my first bike theft. I am sad. It especially sucked having to walk home from work this morning after my night shift :S

Although I'm sure it's a lost cause, but if you happen to see a yellow/black Leader with large smooth tires and grip shift keep me posted.

It's just me and Cervelo until I can get another commuter bike.

BLAME IT ON THE BOOGIE

Today, armed with my iPod and new playlist, I headed out for a run...what was supposed to be 45 minutes turned into 1h10mins. Maybe I was distracted by the music, or just enjoying the run but I somehow ended up way west on the Beltline, when my original plan was to run east to Pape on my usual bike route. Good times.

Also I received my first online donation to the Ride to Conquer Cancer! YAY!

MERCI!

SPLISH SPLASH

Winter is for cross training. And today I trained. hard. 3.6k swim including a 1500m time trial - 35 mins. My arms will hurt tomorrow.
I'm working night shifts (7pm-7am) all weekend, but i'm hoping to squeeze in some spinning somewhere. Gotta get those legs moving!

WELCOME!

Thanks for visiting!

7 months to go and ($2500 to raise) until cervelo and I join the masses and pedal our way to Niagara on a two-day epic cycling adventure!!
We leave Princess Margaret Hospital Saturday morning, pedal our butts off all day, sleep in tents in Hamilton, wake up early in our little tent city, and pedal our way to Niagara on Sunday.

I am very excited about this event and can't wait to get started on fundraising, training and meeting other riders!

I will try to keep this blog up to date with my training and fundraising progress. So stay tuned, it's going to be a fun and exciting 7 months! YAY!!!!
