With all the crap that happened at the end of 2008, it’s easy to forget I accomplished some important things (for me) throughout the year.
-Completed the AIDS Lifecycle. Rode every single inch of the 545 mile ride from San Francisco to Los Angeles.
-Completed the MS Waves to Wine Ride. This two-day ride was quite strenuous, with 100 miles on day one (and over 11,000 ft of ascent) and 75 miles on the second day.
-Numerous mornings of waking up early before work to get in a training ride or run.
-I got really into yoga around August or September and I have stuck with it. It’s made me so much stronger and flexible.
-Bought a fancy Digital SLR camera and taught myself to take some pretty neat pictures.
-Mountain biked the Flume Trail and Rim Trail in Tahoe.
-Got much better at mountain biking in general.
-After the car accident in February, I pretty much stopped driving except when I absolutely had to borrow a car for something.
-Learned how to drive a motorcycle and passed the MSF course with a pretty good score.
-Made some really good new friends.
-(Mostly) kept up with my blog!
