Why April 7th 2013 you ask? Yeah, someone asked.... That's the day a BMW turned missile hit me from behind trashing me, my bike and most of this past year. That was the year I was going to win GFNY by the way. True story. I was ready. A legend in my own mind... Well at least I trained that way.
But I am outrageously happy, ecstatic, blitheringly blissful even, to be able to say that is all behind me. I am out from under the shadow of any and all accident related tomfoolery, (tomfoolery is not the word I was looking for but we're trying to keep this PG).
Yesterday I put on a pair of those fashion forward running shoes and went out for a run. It hurt, and was a chore at a short 18 minutes. But it was wonderful and full of promise and had nothing to do with a therapist (Frank Nanni btw who is amazing!) telling me I had to!
So what's the logical next step? Go on ask me.
Well, a NEW bike of course. And here she is just ordered yesterday;
I can't do GFNY this year but I am training towards Gran Fondo NJ in September. Oh, how good it feels to have a target to shoot for again.
Here's the exciting announcement part. Don't bother asking, I'll tell you anyway;
I'm starting up a new Blog that should see digi-print by next week. It will be everything multisport related going on here in Rockland County and the surrounding areas. I'll be looking for contributing writers, photos, info on events, happenings, rides, races any and all related to riding, running and swimming.
Email me or post up interest here....
Hoping to see you all on the road....
Be safe,
Eric J
