Dream your dreams, never say never, set goals, and know that the journey towards the goal is success just like getting there. I rode my first 30 mile bike ride, wiped out at the 11 mile marker-got up and never got back off that bike 'til I crossed the finish line--bleeding and broken fingers and all! I was not even the last one to finish! What a feeling! Check out the "works in progress" page of this website and read Mary's story. She just e-mail me today and told me she ran and finished her first 5K--and she wasn't even the last one either! What a feeling! Whether it's your first 5 minutes on a bike or your first marathon, whether it's your first time in a bathing suit or your first century bike ride--Trying is everything--Trying IS succeeding--making the effort counts! Can I get a "YES DEE" !??! CHEERS TO YOU AND ME AND TO TRYING!
