Happy Wednesday

The Hubster took my bike in to the shop and had it tuned up for me - which means I have no excuse to put it off any more can get serious about training for my 55-mile bike ride on May 21st.  Thank you, Hubster!!! 

I'm getting excited (and nervous) about this Event -- I've met my fundraising goal (thanks to some VERY generous people - I'm touched, and a little humbled) and the weather is starting to get better, so I'm almost ready to get to riding.  I need to get some good biking shoes - and the pedals they work with, of course.  I know they will be pricey, but I also know they'll be worth it.  (And I need to get some biking shorts/pants -- gotta protect the tail bone and lady bits as much as possible...)

The Hubster is still worried that I might have bitten off more than I can chew.  I understand his concern but I think he might be "...erring on the side of caution" on my behalf.  I know he'll support me -- he's willing to make sure I have the equipment I need, and he'll be my transportation on The Day, and I know he will be cheering me on at the finish line.  And today he said he'll do the ride next year with me - and he'll do the 100 miles, since he'll have the time to train for it between now and then - yay!  So I have to admit that I get a little frustrated when he voices his scepticism concern.  *Sigh...*  I'm sure it will be harder than I'm expecting right now, but I don't really think it will be as hard as he thinks it will be.  I'm sure it will be somewhere in the painful middle, but I'll get through it - one way or another!

Decent day today, although we did go out for dinner to our Mexican spot, and I did succumb to the chips and a Mango margarita.  I ordered the Fajitas, and noticed a note on the menu that they would substitute steamed veggies in place of the fried onions and peppers.  It was pretty darn good!  No exercise besides tromping around Costco, and I did get plenty of water.

Dance classes start up again for me tomorrow - Yay!
