Dearest pals,
I know what you are thinking. New blog, new Fauna? Not hardly. Google just wouldn't let me have my old blog back after I deleted it. I know I have been gone for a while and I am not going to go into why I left cycling and blogging. Just know it was the result of a well respected member of the Pittsburgh Bike Community being a total cunt. Also know I have missed you all in my year long hiatus.
To get you up to date on things: 2014 was a whirl of a year. I did the first half of the winter without a car. I got a beater car last February and immediately got promoted at work. This meant no more bike commuting.
2014 was tough. I dropped off the earth when it came to group rides and bike friends. However, at the end of 2014 I made some huge changes in my life. I enrolled in Graduate school to get my Masters Degree and in November, I quit my job at Verizon Wireless. This has opened up more time for me to take care of myself in 2015.
In January I asked my friend Sara (@BrazenTraining) to give me a gym routine designed to tone my existing muscle and make me generally healthier. She did, and 7 weeks ago I began a 4 day a week training program under her watch. I have seen immediate results! Aside from physical changes I have noticed changes in my attitude and overall mood as well!
As far as biking goes, I have already signed up for the East End Keg Ride in April and plan on going to all the Underwear Rides and Bike Parties I can! I am also planning another trip to Ohiopyle but this time taking a week to go and relax!
I am excited to see what this year brings and I think I have given you all enough reason to keep reading. See you soon!
Cheers
Fauna
