Jodi Heller Supports the American Cancer Society

From Jodi Heller - a training update on her Relay for Life training:

Hi Everyone!

I've been so busy riding and working that I haven't had a chance to send an update for a while. On Saturday, I put in my longest ride so far- 65 miles. What's 35 more miles? No problem!! I just need to keep myself hydrated and eat throughout the ride.  It'll be nice to have a planned route so I won't have to do the same route 4x in a row to get my miles in. I have a few 15 mile routes that I take quite often, but I'll be happy for the change of scenery. I've never been to Tahoe, but I've heard it will be amazing! I can't wait!

All my training will be put to use in less than a week!!! Now, just a few logistics to figure out, like shipping a bike. I was able to get a bike box from One on One. Thank you Charles for helping me with the box and getting it in my car!!! Now, we just need to get it shipped out tomorrow and sent to the hotel. Luckily Stephen is quite handy, so he'll be able to take my bike apart and fit it into the box. When I signed up for the ride, I never thought about actually getting the bike to Tahoe.

I'll send photos from the ride when we get back! Thank you all again for the great support- I appreciate it so much!

Thanks!
Jodi

My Eighth Birthday in 1984


Here is a photo from my eighth birthday at my grandparents house in NJ. We also celebrated my grandma's birthday that day. I was super excited about my air brushed cat sweatshirt with my name on it. I also loved wearing pig tails. This was all before Amy was born. The little wind chimes that hung from the lamp over the long dining room table are making a funny shape near my grandma's face. It took us a while to figure out what that was. Also, my mom is making a funny face. She was probably exhausted from the roller skating party we had the day before!
