So, I am writing this post later than normal, because I have been hanging with the Big Boys....
You know that I have completely fallen in love with cycling, and I do it as often as possible.
Every Tuesday that I can, I do this ride that is 16 miles of hills. It is extremely challenging, and it wipes me out, literally.
I started doing the ride last summer, and I use to have to walk my bike up some of those hills, but with time, I became stronger and stronger, and I was able to shorten the time that it took me to complete the ride. Also, I would do other rides often to prepare for this Tuesday night bike ride.
This season started, and that Tuesday night bike ride is still my toughest ride, but I never have to walk it, and I normally finish strong, but completely wiped out.
I do this Tuesday night bike ride religiously, and What I Know for Sure on This Thursday is that if you train hard, you can eventually run with the big boys...
I am currently in Columbus, Ohio participating in a biking summit, and the Big Boys are here. There are about 100 cyclist here, and about 94 of them are men and the other six are us women. These guys look extremely intimidating when they have their biking gear on, and I felt a tinge of fear on our first ride yesterday. However, I was able to ride with The Big Boys yesterday. Those tough Tuesday night training rides are paying off.

Today, we did another ride that included a few climbs (Hills). Because of my training rides, today, I really was able to hang with The Big Boys, and it felt so good.
Tomorrow and Friday are our big rides with more climbs, and they will be longer, BUT because of my training, I think that I am ready.
Whatever it is that you enjoy, if you always train to get better and better, you will get better and better, and you will be the person that people are trying to catch up with......
So, if you train to be the best, you may not ever make it, but you will be able to hang with The Big Boys, and this I know for sure on this Thursday!
Find something that you love to do and train, train, train.......
I got to go...I'm on the way to hang with The Big Boys!!
