Harder than I thought -

So, after making a resolution to have an article posted every Sunday, here it is Monday morning and I am posting my next blog. What could have happened that would have stopped me from keeping to my new schedule?

A long time ago I decided I was going to ride in the 'Ride to Conquer Cancer'. Recently, the reality of that decision has been kicking in. I have been training. Yesterday, the goal was to bike 75 KM.

So, off I headed, to bike 75 KM and then I would come home and do some more work, including finishing my Sunday blog.

I got through 70 KM and came home. My body hurt, this was my longest ride to date and it wasn't just my legs that were sore, it was everything. Back. Wrists. Arms. Abs. Ouch.

So, to make a long story short, I came home, showered, made some food and fell asleep. But, this brings me to my topic for the blog --

How many of us don't know someone who has been afflicted by cancer?

30% of new cancer cases and 60% of deaths due to cancer occur in middle aged adults (30-59 years old).

Cancer incidence is rising in young women aged 20-39.


More cancer statistics here.

It isn't going to be easy, but I am going to try to ride 100 km a day for two days. I am also trying to raise $2500 for cancer. Help out if you can, it is a good cause.

Falling off of the blog wagon

Well, this has been an interesting year for me and there has been a lot of transition to go through. Through that transition came changes and challenges. Through that transition came the creation of this blog, and through that transition came that last nearly month of silence.

My goal is to fix that last month of silence, and to re-implement my blog writing habits. I will aim to have a new post here every Sunday. For those that have read this so far, thank you very much for your attention. It is a learning process for me, and I hope to evolve this into something that is informative and at the same time not too dry.

Hopefully I will be seeing a lot more of you over the next period of what I am sure will be rampant blog productivity.

Cheers,
Dave.
