Radical things happen at our Texas 4000 meetings, like breaking records for instance. This week’s record involved having the most people blogging at one time. Random, yes; effective, totally. Apparently, Texas 4000 is one of the most effective groups to get its name out for cancer research, and breaking records like this helps. It’s the […]

Today, I wrote an informative essay about Texas 4000 completely in Spanish for my Spanish Grammar and Composition class. So yeah, I think it is safe to say Texas 4000 is always on my mind…in either language. 🙂 99 DAYS!!!

There was a period of several months where I slacked off in my blogging. (I’ll blame it on pharmacy school keeping me busy :p) I wanted to fill that void with a little glimpse of what I was up to. I snagged some pieces of e-mails that I wrote to family and friends updating them […]

And now for a new update…At this point I’ve biked over 275 miles and raised over $4,000 for cancer research…eee! This past weekend’s rides were a combination of fun and somewhat challenging. On Friday I did a ride out to 360 with Stew, Sam, and Andrew. I found the first half of the ride to […]

The other day I noticed I have a tendency to live in the future, rather than soaking in the moment. Next week is always greener. Two teammates peer pressured me into riding to THE Ladera Norte. For non-austinites and Texas 4000 teammates, this street is home to one of the biggest hills in Austin. It […]

100 days until we leave! Wait, only 100 days? Seriously? I’m not ready! [hence: training] Training has been an emotional roller coaster for me lately. Saturday, I was on top of the world. Rain was dripping off my helmet into my face, soaking my jersey, chilling my arms and splashing dirt up on my legs. […]

I remember watching Rugrats when I was little and wishing I could ride around on my dog like Tommy Pickles did. I tried, but I was too big. My family adopted Kirby when he was a puppy. He originally belonged to our neighbors, but he kept digging under the fence into our backyard, and our […]

Before I heard about Texas 4000, I did not really think about how many people I actually knew in my life who had fought cancer, who were currently fighting it, or who were closely affected by it in some way. I had never stopped to think about cancer as something that did not have to […]

I’ve Got a Case of the Mondays T.G.I.M. {Thank Goodness It’s Monday} – Ok, so it doesn’t quite roll of the tongue like T.G.I.F. does, but consider this the beginning of my personal campaign to get America to adopt T.G.I.M. as its new creed for the work week. I’m sure many will scoff at my […]
