Ride 4 Jess - NEW INFO

Due to previous commitments with Life Time Fitness Cycle Club; I'm going to be unable to do the 12 hour bike ride on October 8.

I didn't realize when I picked the date that I was going to 1) be hired at LTF as the coordinator (it was still up in the air) and 2) have a mandatory expo that day.

So here are the new details

When:  Sunday, October 9, 2011
Where: Grapevine Lake - start and end at Nutrition Addiction
Why:    To Raise Money for the Brain Tumor Foundation Dallas/Fort Worth Walk on November 5

The Nitty Gritty:

Anyone is welcome to ride, run, walk, jog, skip, scooter, segway, skate around the lake.

All I ask is that if you are going to come out and participate you make a DONATION to my FUNDRAISING PAGE (any denomination is appreciated!) and either comment here that you are going to participate or email me and let me know.

13/26/39 mile options for the bike - 5K run/walk option
Runners - feel free to come out for your long training day.

Also - if you can participate virtually that would be awesome as well!  Just a make a donation and let me know that you are going to participate!

Hoping to have a few sponsors that will provide some giveaways on race day.

I hope to have your support if you live here in the area and very much hope that you are able to participate!!!!!!

108 is just too hot....

Seriously - this is ridiculous...

What a nightmare - how do the "workout gods" expect you to actually GET OUT and run/bike/whatever in this miserable heat????

I love summer, I love the heat and I certainly love lounging in the pool but this heat is ri-donkulous.....

Instead of riding outside today (or taking spin class) I'll be on my trainer for 1.5hrs.  getting back in the saddle and gearing up for the ride on October 8. 

Lots of trainer time over the next few months (and spin class too!)

How do you beat the heat and stay motivated?  For me it's really difficult but I know I HAVE TO DO IT!
