6/16- 300hr Solo Raam Hi All, Many of you know, I am embarking on the annual Race Across America (RAAM) starting Tuesday June 16, 2009 at noon (PST) in Oceanside CA. I am duly excited and suitably nervous of cycling 3000 miles in 10 to 12 days straight with a total of 100,000 ft. of climbing! The steepest section being the Appalachian’s for the final 200 miles as I complete the ride into Annapolis, MD. For me RAAM is about inspiring others and gleaning from the courage of my true heroes—the kids I engage with as a children’s cancer nurse. My RAAM endeavour will also be used as a platform to heighten awareness around the compelling work of International Justice Mission (www.IJM.com). My ride will raise money to support IJM’s efforts to fight sex trafficking of minors with a special emphasis on combating forced child prostitution. The following paragraph highlights a few creative ways that YOU can be involved without injury. 1) Check out my website http://www.firstgiving.com/raceacrossam...

Wow - what a year. I have just come back from a great 27 mile easy rd run in prep for badwater. I think it is all about having a real vacation. I seem to have returned from my 4person 8 day race across america so very refreshed mentally despite feeling like I have a lot of sleep to catch up on. Maybe it is my age creeping up on me. Yes I did turn a whole year older the day before we left Oceanside for Arizona. But I am still in my 30's long may they last. I have just been offered a chance to do my triple ironman again and I guess as I dont have time, date and or opportunity for a regular ironman I may end up doing it if God makes a way for work to give me the permission. Watch this space for final outcome. Well good for now. I will try to get word out about this blog. Thanks to all who read it and leave positive and motivational comments.
