"and boy are my legs tired!"

Remember that "500 miles in June" goal that I set for myself? Consider it done.
Today I rode my first century ride (100+ miles) of the season to end the month with 512 cycling miles under my figurative belt. I'm proud of myself for having achieved such an ambitious goal. I am also satisfied with other elements of my training - I rode two days back-to-back twice (an important training strategy to prepare for the 2-day PMC) and tackled some particularly steep and long climbs throughout the month. My legs feel stronger than they ever have - bring on the PMC!
I hope that achieving this goal helps you understand my level of commitment to the Pan-Mass Challenge and all that it does for the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Every time I sit on that saddle I think of the families that benefit from the advancements in cancer therapies and passionate care provided by Dana-Farber and how it is made possible by your donations. I am honored to know that the work that I am doing is playing a part in forming a cancer-free future. In future posts I'll tell you more about exactly how your donations are crucial in the fight against cancer.
