15 pounds, 1500 miles & $1500 in 15 weeks, for the MS150
June 1st, 2007
It's time I stop talking about living a healthy lifestyle and I make my statements with ACTION!
Every year I (and many others) "say" we're going to get in shape, eat healthy, and make a lifestyle change. Heck I said that last year, when I lost 20lbs and rode my bike 1800 miles for the year. But then winter came and I put a third of that weight right back on! It's time to make a serious commitment to change.
A personal (yet public) challenge
As I've watched my weight inch back up to 178lbs and have become quite behind in my cycling for the year, I simply do not feel as good as I would if I were living a healthy lifestyle. I want that life, so I'm making the change... starting today!
As of June 1, I will begin my transformation. My goal is to lose a minimum of 15 lbs over the next 15 weeks. I'll do this by riding a minimum of 1500 miles on my bicycle, hoping to raise $1500 for the MS150.
Streamway Trail Hill Ride
June 1st, 2007
One of my favorite places to ride is the Streamway Trail system that goes from Olathe to the Kansas River. It's a 28 mile (round trip) ride that is very diverse and entertaining... with plenty of hills and curves.
With my new GPS mounted on my mountain bike I logged some elevation stats for the first 2/3rds of that ride.
Over 1400 feet of climbing in under 20 miles
