My Goals

I'm so glad to be back cycling again! even with all of the little surprises it holds for- an unexpected little hill that I have to battle up, the realization that I can power uphill sometimes harder than I ever thought that I could, to riding on roads that I haven't been on before, to the flock of wild turkeys that crossed the road in front of me. I started doing it because I wanted to lose some weight and I needed to get outside of my own head for awhile. Since I started to ride again and lift weights back after my birthday in March I've lost about ten pounds, put on alot of muscle and have been able to wear clothes that had previously been tight on me. My goal is to get back into alot of pants and shorts that I used to wear when I had a 32 inch waist. I always knew there was a reason to keep them! But most importantly I want to be around for a very long time to enjoy a long life and relationship with my kids and wife, Melissa!
