I'd like to thank all of you who donated before December 1, 2008 for helping me raise over $1,000! Benchmark #1 has been reached! More than 1/3 of my required minimum and 21% of my personal goal of $5k! I'm so touched by your support!
I said I'd give the incentive prize to whomever helped the most and I'm humbled to say that my sweet, sweet Uncle Daniel pushed me over the edge.
He is a full time student in acupuncture school and works two nights a week at a neighborhood watering hole in Hayes Valley - Place Pigalle - if you're in SF, go say hi to him on Tuesday or Saturday night and tip him well!
He's been a wonderful support for me in this new millenium - starting with trekking out to the cornfields of Iowa to help my mom reprazent my family unit at my college graduation, then giving me a place to live when I first came to San Francisco and now always giving me pints of pear cider and introducing me to all of his watering hole friends every time I stop by to visit.
All of you have left me awed by your generosity and humbled that you have such faith in me. I promise to make you all very proud!
Wanna help me reach my goal?

37 is my lucky number
On Sunday, Shannon took me on the Paradise Loop in Marin. We rode from the Mission all the way thru Tiburon, around the Paradise Loop and then had Indian food in Sausalito and took the ferry home.
This is the first ride that I've felt in my legs a few days after. Seems I've found my working edge - my lucky number!
For now, I'm going to keep my mileage increases to just a few at a time and in taking my aunt Ann's advice - I'll be stretching MUCH more!
And, to take Tracey's advice, I think I'll be getting a new, more comfortable saddle soon... possibly even a new bike that's more suited to my female geometry.

I rode to work sooner than expected!
I woke up on Thursday morning seeing the beautiful sunshine, knowing that I didn't need to be at work until noon and I said to Shannon "wanna ride to burlingame with me today?"
He was very excited and immediately got to cookin' up his special steel cut oats with peanut butter - really sticks to the ribs, that recipe!
We got out around 10:30 and it was a beautiful ride.
I noticed how much easier it was for me this time and that is so encouraging!
After 2.5 hours (I called ahead warning them that I'd be an hour late - no problem) and 24 miles, I rode all the way to work!
I felt SOO good all day long. I can't wait to do it again!
