Walking on the Treadmill

TARA’S DIARY – Feb 20, 2008 – Wednesday

I got to therapy today and my PT asked if I wanted to walk on the treadmill. I was like, "does a bear sh*t in the woods!!" Of course you can hook me up to the crazy sex looking machine and we'll see what we can do!
So check out the video and piccie section (in MySpace) and don't laugh at my baby fawn legs!
One more thing: Jared Rando my teammate and good friend put on a Canberra, Australia's first ever (so I'm told) Super D race to raise money for my Road to Recovery fund. (You can find details here on the Giant USA Website: http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-US/news/12332/)
I want to really thank Rando, Giant Australia, Carolyn and Dave Mckinlay, Onya bike Belconnen, Russ Baker, Darrin "Rutty" Rutherford, and to everybody that participated. If you're ever in Australia check out Canberra. It's got some killer riding and it's a pretty cool city as well. Thank again to everybody.
Cheers,

Never Give Up
