The Ides of March

Yes!! February is history!!! No more snow, cold weather or dark days. No, I'm not high...just flippin the vision a bit. Mind over matter. The possibility of MTB 4-5 days a week is about to be a reality! Mainly because there is a new goal: A crazy idea of racing over some little mountains. Crazy for a few reasons: 1 - this tick is afraid of heights, 2 training at altitude is not happening on long island and 3 I am carrying the equivalent of a wall street trophy wife in extra weight on my pixie-like frame.

I can justify the extra weight as a training tool - people pay lots of money to work out with weights right? The reality of it is that, to be able to "race" or even tour the Rockies -less is more...

So I guess its time to embark on some serious work. Getting out daily for a run or ride is a good place to start. Then there is the issue of "nutrition". Maybe embracing my veganism instead of looking for "vegan" alternatives to my favorite cookies, bars, ice cream etc. Another noble challenge.
And last but most important of all - can I get sponsored? -( no, not in the Alcoholics Anonymous way - although lately that seems more realistic)

There has to be a way to have a sponsor help to fund my journey.....there is a huge push to get the chubby people of America to get off the couch and start moving, even just doing something as simple as riding a bike. I could be a good role model - better than Kirtsy Alley even! Hell, I even don Spandex on occasion - whose lookin' in the woods anyway...

I've been thinking of calling Lane Bryant or perhaps I could get a vegan food company to allow me to wear their logo - Tofutti - god knows I have been supporting them, or even Liz Lovely's cookies? More to come on this...I'm off to get some sweet air! Woo hoooo.....
