An update, and a reason to celebrate
First, I am still here, sorta. I am thinking of moving this blog to my own personal space; LJ has been scaring me lately with the threat of shutting down, so I haven't been wanting to post too much. Stay tuned!
This post is to announce two very awesome things:
1. On April 6, 2008, I started training and keeping track of every mile I've gone. I recently made a goal: 3,000 miles before April 6, 2009. Why 3,000? I'm turning 30 this year.
I got up this morning with 8.5 miles left to go. I cycled to work, cycled home for lunch, and at the corner of Tower and Judd Falls Road, I hit my 3,000th mile. I've gone 3001.1 miles as of this very moment.
The curious thing? April 6 is the anniversary of my grandfather's death (13 years ago). Today is the anniversary of my grandmother's death (a year ago). With this in mind, I, Kelly Alice Wood Bulkeley, do hereby dedicate all 3,000 miles to my lovely grandmother on this the anniversary of her death.
May she rest in peace as I tear up the road.
2. I made a training movie! I will be doing this periodically, so if you haven't yet, please watch my movie!

So far, rave reviews.
