A blog about Lori's life journey
Today I dusted off my bike and went for a ride on Segment 1 of the Volusia County Spring to Spring trail. There are 5 segments (which will eventually join together); I chose the first segment because it looked like Continue reading Bike Ride on the Spring to Spring Trail
WE DID IT! Last time I ran a 5k I vomited 30 yards before the finish line (see Color Me Rad, May 25th). I wasn’t exactly prepared for this one but I gave it a shot anyway. No problems at Continue reading Watermelon 5k
May 25th in Tampa, FL This is a fun un-timed 5k where color was thrown at the runners in the form of dyed cornstarch and some kind of colorful liquid. It was very high-energy with loud music and DJs getting Continue reading Color Me Rad

Today Jacob and I went on an 11-mile bike ride around Lake Mary. We stopped at the YMCA for a swim (I packed towels and dry clothes so we didn’t have to ride in wet swim suits), then we went Continue reading Jacob’s First Tunnel Ride
