I am so sorry ~ I have been seeing your tweeets about the ribs and wondered what happened. Take it easy and don’t push it ~ it’s Gods way of saying “slow Down”

Oh my, I hope the pain is beginning to subside. The kids and I were planning to go stand at the front entrance to the neighborhood and cheer everyone on. I hope you are feeling better by Sat. so we can cheer for you. : )

[...] Since last Friday’s crash, it still hurts when I take a deep breath, cough or sneeze. I contemplated visiting a doctor for an x-ray to satisfy my curiosity: Is it cracked ribs or bruised ribs?

Is there a neighborhood near you that has those bike trails? A lot of places are putting them in. Drivers can be soooooo aggressive, it’s just not worth the risk to cycle where there’s a lot of traffic. We live on a highway, and the triathlete hubby bought me a bike and took me twice. It was enough for me. Too many idiots out there….I cried, literally, both times I was so scared.
