Boulder Sunset Triathlon

After training for and completing my one day ride for Bike MS, I immediately started to look ahead at my next challenge. I built up a lot of momentum working towards Bike MS and I didn't want to loose what I'd gained. For me to stay motivated I like having a goal to work towards, a reason to push myself even when I want to quit.

So...

Two Year Anniversary

My two year anniversary of my diagnosis is well... now. This time two years ago I was undergoing test after test all with the hope that it would turn up something other than MS but 99% sure that it was MS.

Wow... two years. I mentioned that to a friend today and the impact of that statement brought tears to my eyes as the weight of what happened hit me like a two ton load of bricks. I was a completely different person back then I don't think I can even recognize that person anymore. Being diagnosed with MS was both one of the worst things to happen to me but also one of the best.

Welcome Back Summer!

Finally off for the summer and I am ready and rearing to go! I for see may hours spent hanging out by the pool soaking up the sun. After all the changes I've been through so far this year I am SO grateful that I get my summer back.

A big issue with MS is heat sensitivity. When I was first diagnosed the heat and the sun became the enemy.  Anything over 70º felt unbearable, and just standing in direct sunlight felt like I was being roasted alive. Before MS I loved summer and heat and sun, it was hard to think that I was never going to enjoy summer anymore.
