I haven't really had the energy or gusto to go riding since I was about 6 weeks when my morning sickness got really bad. I've been feeling better the last couple weeks, so I thought I'd do the American Diabetes Association ride I signed up. I dropped form from the 50-mile ride to the 25-mile one since the latter is an easy ride for me anytime. man, it felt so good to be in the saddle again. but I know that there probably aren't many more rides in my near future. I did 28 miles (took some detours) very slowly but when that wore me out the entire day. so, may do a couple more rides before my belly gets too big.

but for now I wanted to share my 12-week photo in my full cycling kit and all. AND it's in front of the champion sign because I raised $750 in honor of a friend who died of type 1 diabetes. I love taking sporty preggers photos
