ALC For AFL

There was one life changing moment that I did not list on the LA Pride 2012 Recap...

At the ALC finale on Saturday afternoon, Cakes re-registered for ALC next year, along with BJ, Woods, and myself.  Yes, you read that correctly.  I have signed up for Aids Life Cycle 2013.  My emotions are very mixed... I am nervous, yet excited.  I will be challenging myself a great deal as I have never put myself through anything this physical for an extended period of time.  But I am determined to stick to this and complete it to the best of my ability.

For the time being, I have two goals...

First step: start training at the gym.

Second step: find a bike.

My knees are shaking.

Blackout Pride!
