70 Miles!

Yesterday after work I went on a little bike ride.

Wait a minute let me try that again....

Yesterday after work I went on a BIKE RIDE!!

Hummm, no still not quite right....

Yesterday after work I did this!!!

Picture 1

Right here there was wind, enough wind to make me hate wind.

Here more wind. I really don't like wind.

However, right here was the elementary school I went to. At recess we use to play Charlies Angels. :) We were so cool!

But then again here was more wind! Wind+Bike=NOT GOOD!

Here is where I saw two teenagers, not in school, doing things their parents would not like.

Moving on . . . .


Here is where I thought about quitting going home and never riding a bike EVER again.

Humm...

Okay, well it was more like this.

picture 7

The light blue arrow is where I decided that I had already gone to far to quit.

Here is where I started to think about crying.

picture 8

Okay, well it was more like this.

picture 9

Here is where I thought I was going to throw up. Then Brent would have to come get me because I was sick.

picture 10

Finally, here is where I rode into the driveway swearing I would never get on a bike ever again. I also swore that I would hunt down the Exercise Nazi and make her rue the day.

picture 11

Then again, the wind didn't actually kill me, I didn't quit, I didn't cry, I didn't get sick and I made it home. 70 miles only 30 to go.

Now I want to cry again.

I love it! You totally ROCK!!!!

If... or rather, when you finish the 100 mile trek, I think you need to petition Hollywood to make you an honary Charlie's Angel.

Riding 100 miles is way more work than I ever saw the Angels doing.

Ride 103.5 miles, CHECK!

Friday 9:40 am I have always lived my life defined. Meaning that I know who I am and I know my capabilities. I am perfectly aware of what I can and can not accomplish. Which is why I never do anything that I wont succeed. Also, a reason why I don't do a lot of things. A LOT! Among the definition of who I am is, "Not an athlete." Really, when we get down to it, it is the reason why I am freaking out about a 100 mile bike ride. Athletes ride a 100 miles, non-athletes aka Krissi do not ride 100 mile bike rides. It is very very simple. Yet here I am messing with my very own definition. I have every confidence that I will reach the end of the ride tomorrow. I have trained, I have worked, I have screwed with the very definition of who I am. Leaving the only option of finishing and dealing with what I have done to myself. I am positive that somewhere around 50 miles I will question and doubt my capability of finishing. I am positive that I will remember, "I am not athlete!...

The Second of December

Today is already the second day of December. If I'm not careful the month is going to pass in a blink. Today is also the second day of Hanukkah. I watched the lighting of the National Menorah on TV today and realized how grateful I am to live in a country where we celebrate and embrace all different cultures, religions, and people. It is pretty awesome! I just wanted to pop in for a few minutes and say "Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkah!" Krissi

One thing that you may not know about me is that in my senior year of high school I worked at Baskin Robins. I scooped, dipped, mixed, and created ice cream concoctions for almost an entire year. It was the best and worst job I ever had. My favorite ice cream desserts were malts. Ummmm!!! That is why when I came across this recipe a few years later I couldn't wait to try it. That is why after I tried this recipe it became one my favorite cookie recipes. Below is the recipe for: "Chocolate Malted Cookies" 1 cup butter-flavored shortening 1-1/4 cups packed brown sugar 1/2 cup malted milk powder 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup 1 tablespoon vanilla extract 1 egg 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1-1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chunks 1 cup (6 ounces) milk chocolate chips In a mixing bowl, combine shortening, brown sugar, malted milk powder, chocolate syrup and vanilla; beat for 2 minutes. Add egg. Combine the flour, baking soda and salt; gradually...
