    It's July again and that means Tour des Chutes Cancer bike ride event. As a lot of you know I have had not very good luck with this event. In 2014, DNF due to injury, 2015 had to do family route due to serious bike wreck recovery. In 2016 took the year off as my injuries were still an issue. In 2017 was fully trained and ready, got attacked by dog 3 days before, did the 5k walk as I could not ride. So here we are 2018, have way more training and 2 events under my belt. Chose a route that I know I can ride.to ride. My new bike is way more comfortable for me to ride. Its taken me 3 years to heal & recover from those two serious accidents. So my positive thoughts is: I will finish this event this time!!!!!

    07/08 - 26.0 cycling (TdF solo challenge Stage 2)
    07/09 - 23.0 turbo trainer (TdF solo challenge Stage 3)

    Total: 194.0 miles

    I do not know why but my tail is draggin'! I can't seem to get any energy. I haven't changed anything that I've been doing. Maybe it's allergies or some type of bug. Hoping that I am feeling more motivated soon. I will not give up! I will complete my half marathon in December!

    I had the most whacky thing happen to me today. I was at our specialty vet hospital with my cancer pup for a check up. When I got home, I had a call from my bank saying that they had suspious activity on my credit card. I made a payment on it this morning online and don’t use it out in stores. So there was a credit purchase on it for $275 from Macy’s in which I have not shopped in two years. So they canceled my card immediately and froze the purchase. So I tell the rep that I had something weird happen to me today while I had my dog at the hospital. A middle age women came speedily over and asked if she could sit beside me. My purse firmly against my lap. She does not even sit back in her seat. She has a big leather hand bag with one hand in it and one hand holding it and she says, wait a minute I .....and jumps up and goes to the desk but stands there and asks nothing and then turns and is seen no more. I was in there for almost two hours and I never saw her again. And I look at my watch to see what time it is. So I ask the bank customer rep if she can tell me approximately what time the transaction occurred and it was only a few minutes after she left. I think she scanned my card and may be coming in and doing it to others. How bizarre.
