New York, NY

I got a little sick this weekend which made training impossible. Colds are no fun -- especially when it is beautiful out and I have to be stuck indoors.

The money situation is good. I am roughly three quarters through all of my required fund raising. I still need to buy supplies. I plan on posting a list here soon in case anyone has some of the items lying around (clipless pedals anyone?).

I feel myself getting stronger and my endurance has skyrocketed, but hills are still a challenge. It's difficult to keep my pace steady when I climb a monster hill.

Back to the gym tomorrow.

I am halfway through my fund raising with a bike on the way: This trip just became very real.


Six weeks seems like an eternity but when I am training I pray that I don't leave for another year. Though my excitement trumps any anxiety I might feel.

I'll keep everyone updated on the goings on in my life as I travel the roads of America.
