Josh, Lindsay, and Mackenzie

Good morning everyone. I thought I would take a moment to express my concern for this weekend. This year marks my fourth consecutive ride in the MS150. For those unfamiliar with the ride, we ride 150 miles for multiple sclerosis. The ride goes from San Antonio to Corpus and is over a two-day period. I never train (which is stupid), but it is always impressive to see how the human body will put up with a whole lot before it gives out on you. Well, last December I ran in a half-marathon (also without training) and my knees are pretty much done I think. They don't hurt terribly much when running (after 3 months of rest), but I fear the worst for them this weekend. So, be thinking about my knees as you relax this weekend.

Additionally, my best bud and her husband (Nicole and Matt) are riding for the very first time. They are nervous, for good reason, but have at least been riding a bit. The only advantage I have is knowing what we're up against. I try my hardest to prevent them from looking at any topographical maps of the ride for fear they chicken out.

On a pleasant note, Josh will be driving the jeep along side us with Keyne riding as a loyal cheerdog. Who knows...we might need our own personal ambulance when my knees go out and Nicole forgets to unclip. Keep your fingers crossed!
