as cycling season approaches and little red riding hood 2010 is just around the corner i decided pedalingwithapurpose needed a bit of a face lift. i know i dont' post here much now. don't worry your pretty little head, pedalingwithapurpose will have its season. in due time. without a doubt.
small update for inquiring minds. i am currently on schedule to begin the cross country cycling tour in the early summer of 2014. that summer will mark our 5th year without kara. the plan, which as of now is tentative, is to ride from the east coast to the west coast. before you advise me about the wind, know that i was born with a brain and did take that into account. we shall wait and see together how this whole thing pans out when the time comes.
what i know for certian is that in three years i'm going to pedal my ass from one end of the country to the other in honor of kara. she will be proud.
as for current news. this saturday (in 4 days) i will pedal my ass 100 miles. i have not trained for this ride. but i commited to 100 miles and i will ride 100 miles. no options. i will not accept defeat. i have spent the last six months on the excecutive planning committee for the ride. it has provided ample learning opportunities on how to plan and organize a ride. i'm not a pro by any means, but i've most certainly learned a thing or two. not to mention made some great contacts. tonight we are stuffing 3000 rider packets. that will be fun. tomorrow riders begin picking up their packets. friday is a great big pre-ride party and celebration. saturday is the ride. i wish all of you could be here. maybe you should plan for next year. put it on your calendar: little red riding hood 2011. logan, utah. see you there.

- i'm one of few words...HA! i'm not, that's why this blog of mine exists. not even sure if it gets much reading these days, which is ok. it's often more for me to muse than it is for you to read all about my life's perfection. also kidding. my life is not perfect, i am real. this is a place where it is often the most real for me. writing is therapy. if i get it out of my brain here, perhaps i won't have to bother you with it in real life. there will be plenty of good. plenty of funny. probably a little bit of gross...because dogs. and likely everything in between. i started my first blog in 2007. i've archived that crazy thing and as of June 2018 i'm starting fresh. perhaps a metaphor for life as it is in this moment, or maybe just my OCD taking over. hard to say. either way, i need to write more than i have in the last 4 years. it's good for me. keeps the cobwebs out of my brain. reminds me why i wake up every day and how much love is in my life. told you, it's for me, not you. that being said, i love it when you read my musings!
