I rode with the Old Kranks. This was my last activity for the Amgen Challenge. I did 25 activities for the month and I finished a few days ahead of time.

I didn’t have any commitments today, so I was able to stay in the pool for as long as I wanted. The Old Kranks were doing the WAR ride today, but I wanted to work in the afternoon, so I opted out of the ride. The pool as always felt wonderful. I had no problem slipping into it.

We had much to talk about and I told her of my feelings about taking on so many activities over the next few months. When I left her home, I still didn’t feel right about everything that I was taking on, but I am still glad I went to see her.
