JENNIFER: The first ride back is the hardest, right? The same with running, when I used to run with my friend Angela in Dallas. The same with yoga, when I was really into Ashtanga yoga a couple of years ago. Today, it probably didn't help that I think my tires were a little low. It certainly wasn't my best ride, but the weather was beautiful and perfect. I rode my bike around the neighborhood and enjoyed being outside.
First thing this morning, I had breakfast with some of the LIVESTRONG Challenge mentors at Las Manitas (my first time there - yum!) and laughed my tail off for two hours. They were in town for the weekend, and yesterday I had the pleasure of making a presentation to them about the LAF's programmatic initiatives, specifically our grants programs.
Next ride scheduled for Tuesday after work. Hopefully Lauren and her new bike will join me!

Remember Jen, "it's not where you are, it's where you are headed". I hate cliches, but sometimes they really are appropriate. You got out there, you put some miles in, and now you have a streak going again. I'm sure the "Las Manitas" yummy breakfast helped power you through the ride, even hours after the meal.
I agree that you should get Lauren to join you on her "new set of wheels". It is usually more fun to ride with a friend.
Hi Jennifer! How great to read all about your training and preparation for your next big ride. I am so proud of you! What a terrific daughter-in-law I have! Loved the picture of your table for the Passover dinner, and the meal sounded delicious! Keep up the good work! Hugs!
