February 7, 2011 Mike Thompson spoke tonight at our weekly T4K meeting. He shared about how he survived Cancer four times, and about the moments when he felt helpless during his recovery. His story is gritty, and it’s incredibly touching. After he recovered from Cancer, Mike started getting involved in marathons and recently, triathlons. He […]
We roll up to Fayetteville ISD. “Pretty standard small-town Texas” I thought to myself. Fayetteville High School would be our home for the next 48 hours of Cycling 101. Immediately, we all began unloading. I gathered my things from Adriana’s car and scurried into the school to claim a spot on the stage in the […]
Presumably at this time I should be working on my Ethics paper that will be due soon. However, my thoughts cannot escape still with all the awesomeness that happened this weekend. This past weekend, the teammates and I all went down Fayetteville, TX to have our training camp. It was an amazing learning experience…I mean […]
This weekend was beautiful. From the top: So roll call was at 5:30. My alarm didn’t wake me up, but the wonderful Gabriela did at 5:41. I hauled asssssss to the CPE where I proceeded to drive circles around the CPE searching for the parking lot. AWESOME. Let’s just call this my life. (I mean […]
This past Saturday and Sunday was our training camp. On Friday I came down with a pretty bad cold, I was in bed all day, consumed gallons of soup and rested in hopes of feeling better by Saturday. Saturday at 5:00am I woke up feeling the same way, and I only slightly had to push […]
It will be very difficult for me to convey exactly how incredible this weekend was. I will try but I cannot succeed. Just like I can never truly explain what it is like to be a part of Texas 4000 to someone who has not experienced it. Though, as Omar, Bethany and I drove back […]
Towards the end of my senior year of high school, about three years ago, I first heard of Texas 4000. My sister, Danielle, and her two roommates at the time, Susan Linn and Susan Davis, both 2009 riders, came to Beaumont to support me in a local function that senior girls participate in every year. […]
It’s been a year. I have way too many thoughts on my mind. 2013 is here. Finally. Now we get to share all of our inside jokes with them. And now, for two years, they too will understand the feeling. The emotions and excitement that all happen in just 2 hours on a Monday night. […]
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I came out in theaters on Friday, November 19, 2010. This was a big deal in my apartment. The fact that we had class the next day and other responsibilities was forgotten on Thursday evening as my two roommates and I, as well as our friends, turned up […]
Technically, I should be studying right now. My accounting final is in t-minus an hour and a half, but I find myself unable to focus on crunching numbers. About a year ago, I received a call that forever changed my life. The emotions from that call come rushing back into me as I see fellow […]
