Katie MacDonald - Bike the US for MS
Only 100 days to go until I head to Bar Harbor! It seems so far off right now, but I know those days are going to fly by.
School and snow have unfortunately been hampering my ability to go out and ride as often as I would like, so as a result, I have started to do a lot more running, which is not something I ever imagined myself getting into. Of course it would be impossible to train for a cross-country bike ride without actually riding my bike, so I put some time into building out a training plan for the next couple months. Fortunately, the weather has been unseasonably warm this winter, so getting out on the bike should be pretty easy. At this point, I am going to try to commit myself to a minimum of 70 miles a week until the trip. Continuing with the running theme though, some friends and I have signed up to run the MuckFestMS 5K on May 15, which seems like it is going to be a crazy amount of fun. If you haven't heard of this run, you can check it out here. If you're in the Boston area and want to join our team, you can sign up here! Donations have really picked up since my last post, and I have now raised 34% of my goal! Thanks so much to the Waghmare family, Jane & Brian, Janice, John & Tracey, Phil & Soo Jung, Kirsten, Rob, Steve, Steven, Paul, Allison, and the anonymous person who wrote "go, Canada, go" (I have a strange suspicion I know who you are!). In order to secure my spot on the trip, I have to meet the 50% deadline by March 27, so if you haven't donated yet, please do! Also, be sure to check and see if the company you work for has a matching gifts program that will match your donation. Every dollar counts! You can donate online via my Bike the US for MS profile (here).
