uh oh...

my friends, as i sat on the porch this morning i realized that next saturday i will be climbing all kinds of hills on a bike...have i ridden a bike yet?....no, but i am still going for it anyways...i figure if i can run 5-6 miles in one hour, then surely i can ride at least 10 mi in one hour...maybe i am clueless...but i am hanging on to this hope nonetheless...

i know that many of you feel so moved to help raise the $500,000 goal of the organization...i personally had to raise $500 and i am almost to my fundraising goal...i am using this opportunity to make one final plea to any reader at this moment...go to www.hillcountryride.org and search under riders...monica hall...then proceed to donate until your little heart is contented...it is for AIDS patients here in austin that need medical help, food, etc....this organization is making a difference in our community and i find it to be the least i can do to help out in this big, big world...

so, when you donate, i will get an email and then i will write you back with the loveliest of thank you notes...grace to all this weekend as i prepare for 50 miles of hills next saturday... :)
