What I'm doing

So I've decided to trade in my running shoes this summer for a new set of wheels. And I'm not talking about a car. I'm biking across the U.S this summer (Providence, RI to Seattle, WA) with an organization called Bike and Build. Me and about 30 other people my age (who come from all different parts of America) are doing this to help with affordable housing. We are required to raise $4,000 but it will go to help the cause. What's really cool is we get to stop along the way several times to build houses for people. So I'm really excited about all this and if you have any more questions just ask me. I'll probably add more stuff about this in the future.

So today I decided to bike instead of run. It's getting closer to time so if I want to be ready for this then I really need to start biking a whole lot more and give my running shoes a little break. I thought I'd do a 2 hr. bike ride because it was nice outside. I realized the hard way that 1.) dogs hate bikers with a passion and will try bite despite trying to talk to them in that little doggie voice 2.) Hills are fun. The downhills at least :) and 3.) I really need to buy some bike shorts very soon. It hurts to sit. But it was a really fun ride and I think I'll have a good time training for this thing.
