Day 16: Broke a habit this week

Bad, good or neutral, I broke a habit today. I skipped my day 2 bike ride during weeks 1 and 2, but not this week.


Something else has changed, too. Did you notice? I updated my photo on this blog. I can say I can see a small difference in my face aside from the make-up.


My stomach is feeling closer to normal now. It could be the increase in fluids or something else.


I am humbled to have learned accidentally that the Heart Walk website does not accept single dollar donations. When I made a contribution, it was for the drawing for a week's vacation. The donation was a required minimum amount. I didn't know that smaller amounts could not be entered on-line. 


I e-mailed about sixty people inviting them to make a single dollar vote of confidence donation since my team has reached and exceeded its fund-raising goal.  I apologize to those who may have tried to make that donation only to discover what I didn't know until today. I am very embarrassed.


Plan B - For those who want to make a written pledge by e-mail: CherylsMakingPaces@gmail.com. If you want to make an off-line donation of any amount at any time by snail-mail, you may use my work address. Checks should be made to the order of the American Heart Association (you can put my name on the memo line).

Writing this blog is what I do when I cool off from riding.
