Cycling

Steve and I are training for the Tour de Cure in Napa on May 5th. It's a fundraiser for diabetes research. I am going for the 25 mile goal. To be honest, I didn't know if I could do it but I feel stronger and stronger and I am halfway there.

We are having a lot of fun working out our training regimen. The only thing I said to Steve at the outset was that I wanted to eat normal food and not the health food concoctions that he comes up with in the blender sometimes. The color alone is a real put off to my appetite. So he agrees that I can eat what I want to while in this training mode. Even with that, I have lost some weight and toned up noticeably. We usually make our biking runs on the Alameda Creek Trail not far from our home in the San Francisco East Bay.

I did 16 miles today and Steve did 22. (I waited for him at a park bench while he put in a few extra miles on a loop through the hills.) It was a nice day! Slightly overcast with sun breaks and about 70 degrees Fahrenheit. My legs are a little tired tonight but not too bad considering. I should be able to achieve my goal.
