Ride to Pikes Peak

An opportunity for a mother and son to do something special for Polycystic Kidney Disease, for organ donation and for us.

In 1806, Zebulon Pike traveled west and sighted Pikes Peak. We biked 990 miles along his route and then ran the Pikes Peak Marathon. We are so grateful for the opportunity to raise PKD awareness. PKD caused the failure of Pat’s kidneys. A transplant saved her life eight years ago. Pat’s brothers, sisters and mother were afflicted with PKD, seven in all. Pat describes how PKD affected her life and televised news features are in the "News Coverage" link on the left margin.

Training - big week for spinning

This past week cold air blew into St. Louis and I flipped my Saturday long run into additional time on the spinning bike. I've been training on the spinner for about 2 months now. I'm convinced that I'll be able to get enough training time in before August. When Spring arrives I'll be eager for the long weekend rides.

I'm running the Boston Marathon in April. I'm not sure how all this cross training on the spinner will affect the marathon preparation. My running mileage is down but my training hours per week are up.

I'm satisfied that I've got my priorities in place.
