Cheating winter, just a little

It warmed up to a balmy 50 degrees yesterday so Hannah and I headed out for a ride. We headed to Cedarville where the trail is less shaded so the snow was virtually nonexistent. 

Not a long ride, but it was nice to get out. 

Groundhog Day:D Style

A few weeks ago, I got my lunchtime call from school and hear, "Ditto."  Hannah's school nurse and I shared a good laugh over the fact that not only did I pack the exact same amount of lunch carbs for her, her pre-lunch blood sugar was exactly the same as the day before.  In diabetes, nothing stays the same for very long.  Blink and what worked yesterday doesn't work today. So this rare repeat day was fun. 

Today after spinning, one of the semi-regulars came up to talk to me.  He complimented me on the fact that I was there every time he is and that I was making progress.  It caught me a little off guard; this was the same guy that was there my very first class when I thought I was going to pass out.  It made me realize I've made a decent amount of progress in the last two months.  Even with missing several classes due to the holidays and all our crazy weather lately; I'm not the same spinner I was two months ago.  You do the same thing week after week and don't notice the changes until someone brings it to your attention. 

Riding on Faith

I closed my eyes and hit register. It's official- I'm riding in La Crosse this year!!!!

It's scary; I haven't figured out how I'm going to get in all my training hours with a traveling husband and two kids in tow. I haven't figured out if I can actually raise my required minimum. But, I've got a little bit'a faith in myself and a whole lot of faith that God has a plan for this. I'll be relying on his grace and mercy as I tackle the next seven months. Eek!!!!
