Irritable Bowel Syndrome Message Boards | 2 days, 150 miles and a bike...

Shell- you inspired me to post... I was going to wait until it was closer and I was ready to ask people to sponsor me.. but you inspired me.. some of you have read my questions on the eating board about endurance training...

I am scheduled to ride the MS150 in July to raise money for Multiple Sclerosis.. a condition near and dear to my heart.. we have several friends who suffer, along with Bill's cousin.. it actually runs in his family, but thankfully only Suzy of his immediate relatives who is still with us is affected... several members of his grandmothers generation and fathers generation had it though...

anyway- in the meanwhile.. I am setting little goals.. I have to bike indoors until the weather warms up, so am setting the goal of 40 miles on the indoor bike BEFORE I switch.. I will have to slow down when I first switch because the indoor one I use most often is a recumbent and the muscles are slightly different then those used on the road bike I normally use... but then my next goal will be to do a 50 mile ride before my birthday May 16th, and then 60 by June 16th, so that I'll have that last month and be ready for the 2 75 mile days in mid July.

Anyway- positive vibes appreciated, along with reminders to get out and ride!

Amie
