Hello World!

So I have entered the world of blogging. I'm surprised it took me this long. I'm not much of a writer, so I guess that explains my tentativeness. Obviously I turned 30 this year, (although, I told everyone it was my 25th birthday...it didn't work) and I was not thrilled about it, unlike my sister-in-law who is already planning her 30th which is more than a year away. But life goes on...

One reason I started this blog is to document my summer training. Last year I started biking a lot on the White Pine Trail (it runs from Grand Rapids, MI to Cadillac, MI) and really enjoyed it. I despise running as it just hurts too much and at this point can't afford and don't want to join a gym. So I started biking. After an injury in the middle of the summer, my biking decreased and I was bummed.

This year, I got a new bike and a new determination. On October 2 and 3, 2010 I will ride 187 miles! My goal is to complete the White Pine Trail Tour. You can check it out here tourwpt.org. My training is starting out a little slow, but life kind of gets in the way and I still have 106 days!

I hope you enjoy my blog!

  1. Good luck with your training! And I do believe 30 is the new 20. That is probably why Beth wants to go to Vegas for her 30th. :) ~Em

  2. A belated welcome to the blogosphere! I totally think 30 is the new 20...when someone asks how old I am, I still cringe when I say "30" b/c I just don't feel it!

    I really want to do more biking this summer, and I'm hoping to get a road bike eventually (like, in a couple years...) Have fun, maybe we could all go together sometime!
