Happy Valentines to all

I cross-trained at the gym today to get ready for my official group training ride tomorrow with the East Bay Wildcats, led by Mary Vencill. So, today was spent following up on pledges and donations and sending out more requests.

My mom, along with my husband, is extremely supportive of my participation. She receives limited income, but she wanted to donate, she had pledged $50 two weeks ago, but when I asked her yesterday when she intended to donate, she responded with, "Now, and I want to give $100! What you're doing is so important." I was so touched - this puts a dent into her disposable income for the month, but she was adamant. Don't worry, I'll make her whole by surreptitiously paying for some of her expenses. The important thing is that she felt good about giving.

Well, this will be an early night, need to be up, fed, stretched and out of the house in time to get to Orinda, on BART, by 7:30 a.m.

I also share this Valentine from the San Francisco AIDS Foundation.
