Glad your feeling better Sue. Hospitals are certainly no fun.

Andrea, that's great about your running. I've never enjoyed running and respect anyone who can do it. It's kind of odd that I can spend hours on a bike, but can't run to the end of the street and back without feeling like my heart is going to explode. Maybe once I get in better shape it won't seem that bad. 1.5 miles is terrific. I'm jealous of your trip on ICE. That trip is high on my list of things to do.

My training is going well. Lost 2 pounds last week. My body is in a state of total confusion. It's trying to react to the changes, even though I'm trying to introduce them slowly. I think the worst part is finding out how bad I really am. We had a group indoor training session last Saturday and I really floundered. The coach was very positve and encouraging, but it was still depressing. I didn't think I was that bad. Lots of reality checks going on inside. We both still think my goal of a century ride on June 1 is attainable.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Don, they say the last few pounds are the worst. I've not been that close in a very long time so you'll have to let us know what it takes to finally shed them. When you look back at what you've accomplished over the last year or so, you've got to be inspired to finish it off. It's like the last lap at Indy.
