Last week was a rush of excitement. I received my cycling gear and my bike within a couple of days. When I was waiting for Jack and Adam’s to put the final touches on my bike I couldn’t stand still. I would say I looked like a child on Christmas, but I was a fairly […]

People usually consider walking on water or in thin air a miracle. But I think the real miracle is not to walk either on water or in thin air, but to walk on earth. Ever day we are engaged in a miracle which we don’t even recognize: a blue sky, white clouds, green leaves, the […]

“It’s not how many times you fall that matters, but about how many times you get back up.” I went on my first official T4K bike ride yesterday morning, and it was the such an incredible experience. I rode my bike there through a fog so thick that it was like I took a shower. […]

T4K visits MD Anderson: I loved MD Anderson. SO MUCH. I still remember waking up at 1:19 am and 3:57 am thinking that I was going to be late, I think it was my excitement that kept waking me up. The day we went, it was SO perfect. They were holding a Fall Fest for […]

For some reason, I assume everyone on T4K reads my other blog, which is updated much more often than this one. I recently realized this is probably not the case, and that’s completely fine, but I do want people to know how much I appreciate them. I post Teammate Shout Outs on the other blog, […]

This weekend the team volunteered at Doc Avery’s Haunted House. Doc Avery donates the proceeds from the haunted house to Texas4000 as well as many other organizations. This was a very great team bonding experience as we got to dress up and scare all those who dared to enter the house. I worked as a […]

*I apologize in advance, but this is going to be a lengthy entry. Proceed at your own risk. It is currently 1:38am, and I have yet to write either of my two lab reports that are due today. Of course I have no one to blame but myself for this, as (extreme) procrastination is my […]

It’s hard to believe that October ended last night, but looking back on it, it’s amazing to see everything that’s happened this month! 10/22/12 ”“ I GOT MY BIKE!! I was so anxious that entire day before I picked it up. As they rolled the bike out to give me, I felt like a kid […]

I always loved unboxing things while growing up. Not just Christmas or birthday presents either, even getting to unwrap and put together a Swiffer mop got me excited. I know, I’m a loser, but the thrill of new goodies has always been enticing. I wouldn’t say I’m materialistic; I just like tearing through new cellophane […]

I feel like I have accomplished much in the past few days. I learned to ride with clips! For those of you who have no idea what clips are (like I didn’t before Texas 4000), they are pedals that you clip your bike cleats into so you’re virtually (literally) attached to your bike. I’ve found […]
