Third day of much needed recovery

During these recovery days, I've stretched, cross-trained (upper body with weights), learned how to further strengthen my core, and spent time with a personal trainer who is helping me condition my body, especially my legs. I did not know my muscles were so tight even though I've been using the foam roller.

Since embarking on road training Monday, February 3, with at least 2 training rides per week, I've logged by the 30th day, 396 miles and by the 60th day 1,030 miles. And, 100 of those miles were achieved two Sundays ago.

AND, most importantly, look at what supporters have done? So far after only 9 weeks, their contributions now total $23,787. This is significant to me because in the beginning, I wasn’t sure that I would be able to, with their help, raise even the required $3,000 minimum. Their support continues to mean so much -- we are currently one of the top 10 fundraisers. Many thanks to all!
