75,065 Miles

Yesterday I rode 52 miles in preparation for my 100 mile race in three weeks. Besides being incredibly sunburnt I felt pretty tough. Felt tough that is, until I read about Tommy Godwin. This man is an animal. Check it out on the fount of all knowledge, Wikipedia. My favorite Tommy Godwin fun facts are:

• He holds the world record for the greatest amount of miles cycled in a single year (75,065 miles...that is over 200 miles a day!)
• He rode through World War II blackouts with lights taped to his bike
• He was a vegetarian
• His bike weighed 30 lbs (the lightest bike today weights under 6 lbs)

Inspirational or just plain crazy?

Spring Break

I was definitely needing a break and I full week I got off of work the first week of April was timely. We went to Southern California with the Young's and had a great time. Stephen and I aren't great about taking pictures so thank you to Chris, who took most of these pictures and shared them with us. Also, we did a lot more than go to Disneyland, that was actually only one day, but I really liked these pictures. Here are my favorites:

We went to Club 33 for lunch. It was delicious and fun to go out on the balcony above the crowds in New Orleans Square.

First timers!

Miles was pimping it in his puma track suit, hat, and aviator glasses. So stylish.

Thank you to Mark and Judy for the wonderful trip!

In other news, I played in my first piano recital since I was a little kid. It was a bit silly since I was playing with a bunch of little kids. I did ok but not good enough to post the video Stephen took. I'm glad that I did it because it pushed me to learn a harder piano piece than I would have otherwise and I think it's good for me to be in uncomfortable situations and be nervous because I am learning new things. I'm glad it's over and I hope I can keep taking lessons and that I'll be a proficient piano player someday!
