Miss'n it big time!!!

Yes I am still here, just took a break from the blog because I haven't had much Footbiking to blog about.It has now been six weeks since I have been able to get out on my Footbike. I am missing it big time. I have been planning though for the new season. Getting some things organized and looking forward to start training for April when we do the Salt Lake Marathon. It is still winter here in Utah, but I am already dreaming of a warm spring and a HOT summer.

50 MILES- VIVA BIKE VEGAS

WOW!!!!!!

We did it!!!!!!

50 Miles

This was a great ride.

Personally the longest I have ever gone

on my footbike in one day.

50 miles is long,

but it is really long when the first 22 miles is

up, up, up!!!!

The downhill felt nice on our very fatigued legs.

I did the whole course with my sister Ruth.

She was great company.

Our Finish time was 5:25

Mat, Chris and Jeff all finished together at 4:45.

July- Story of the Month

The story of the month for July

comes to you from my new friend Lendyl Thomas

whom I met in June when he came from Oregon with his wife Gwen

for the Utah Valley Marathon.

Here is his footbiking story. An Inspiration.

A Journey to Love and Thankfulness

Chances are if you are reading this you are one of two kinds of people, those that are already into footbiking or someone who is curious and wants to find out more. That’s where I found myself after a serious back injury changed my life forever. Running, biking, kayaking and mountain climbing were suddenly gone. An active life became one of stillness.
I wasn’t willing to believe this was the end though and began a long journey of searching to try and get back the active life I loved.
Well, I still haven’t gotten it all back. The simple reality is. . . I won’t. But, I am gaining ground every day and even going places I never thought I would. And, it’s all because of footbiking.
When I got started I could literally “feel” my body changing. With each ride I was getting stronger. How could something so simple and fun be transforming my life? I don’t know. I just knew it was. And, the more I rode, the hungrier I got.
A few months into it though, a mysterious illness knocked me down. But, after several months the hunger never went away. By the middle of March I began training and on June 12th I completed a footbike marathon. In September, I will be doing another.
So, if you are wondering like I was, “is footbiking right for me?” Satisfy your curiosity – try a footbike, it can change your life. If you have been injured or debilitated you may find, as I did, that a footbike is the best pain killer and anti-depressant around.
Some people say love is too strong a word. Others will tell you that saying thank you isn’t enough. What I will tell you is, I love this sport and I am thankful everyday for what it has given to me. So, join myself and others and begin your own journey.

Kicking it on the Central Oregon Coast,

The Final Results from the UVM.

On Saturday June 12th 6 Footbikers joined over 1800 runners at the starting line for the Utah Valley Marathon. Just before the gun the rain started coming down, it rained for the first 13-15 miles and then even though the rain stopped, the streets were so wet and there were so many puddles that soon our shoes felt like lead weights and the water squished through our toes with every kick. Even with slippery decks, water filled shoes, soaking wet clothes we pulled some great numbers.

Thanks to all who participated and especially to Spartacus who drove in from Nevada and Lendyl who came down from Oregon.
