Last Saturday was the Ride for Roswell…raise money for cancer research here in Buffalo for Roswell Park Cancer Institute.  This is the first year I’ve done this and I chose the 20 mile bike route..the other choices were 3, 8, 20, 30, 33, 40 and 62.5.  Glad I chose 20, it kicked my butt…BUT I DID IT WITHOUT STOPPING AY ANY OF THE REST STOPS.  Actual mileage was 18.3 and I rode it non-stop in 1hr 36min and 20sec.  Burned a total of 645 calories per my HRM. It was a blast..I was in an area I had never been before and got to see some beautiful scenery.  Rode through a park along a creek, along the Erie Canal and along the Niagara River..Niawanda Park along the Niagara was absolutely beautiful with the sun glistening off of it.  After we left there we went to my fiance (will be my husband after 7:15 tonite) sister’s house.  The Town of West Seneca has a carnival every year and her house is right there…it’s practically in her backyard.  At dark they have the most fantastic fireworks display.  So needless to say Sunday was a  rest day.

Today honey and I are getting married at the Town Court after work…not the way we wanted to do it but anything else would be way too much money so we are just doing it and getting it done.  We’ve been together 7 years and engaged for 4 so I guess it’s about time.  His mother, my daughter and grandkids will be there.  My mother may show up but it’s bingo nite so she’s not sure…some mother or what?

My boss being the nice guy he is is giving Wed thru Friday off as a “honeymoon” even though my Nicky will be working Wed and Thursday.  Has Friday off for 4th of July.  But that totally screws up my workout plans…I was going to start a new back routine I found in Oxygen magazine and I need the Assisted Pull Up Machine and since I won’t be at work  I wont;’ be going to the gym cuz work and gym are like 50 miles from home so my workouts will be at home…will have to figure something out…

Well, I suppose I should get some work done before my boss gets in.  Hope everyone has a wonderful week.
