Re: Finished 6f2 mi bike race

I LOVE that - congratulations. I am more of a runner than a biker and have signed up for one of the Race for the Cure 5K's in Nov - 3 weeks after my final chemo. I used to do 1/2 marathons but this little 3 mile race is meaningful and I plan to run it with my 1/2 inch hair do

These are the things that remind us we are still alive and are so blessed.

Thanks for sharing.
