Little Miss Singletrack: February 2010
http://valeriejdosland.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Enjoying what each day brings, usually on a bike ride, but not always. Sunday, February 21, 2010. Yesterday I was able to do my training ride outside. It was the best ride I've had since I was diagnosed with cancer and completed treatment. I finally feel like I'm getting back to my former fitness level. The best part of yesterday's training is that it helped me feel rejuvenated. Spring is around the corner and I can't wait! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I love to bike and especially love endurance mountain...

Little Miss Singletrack: Spring has sprung!
http://valeriejdosland.blogspot.com/2010/04/spring-has-sprung.html
Enjoying what each day brings, usually on a bike ride, but not always. Sunday, April 11, 2010. Over the Easter holiday, Kevin and I went out to Fruita. For a few days of mountain biking. The first day was a complete bust because of rain but we were able to ride Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The best day was Friday by far - we did a 5 hour ride on CO singletrack. Without covering the same trail twice. It was fun, rocky singletrack. With great views of the Colorado River. Good to see youre back! I love to b...

Little Miss Singletrack: March 2010
http://valeriejdosland.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Enjoying what each day brings, usually on a bike ride, but not always. Friday, March 26, 2010. What health care reform means to me. Late summer and early fall was a complete blur to me because I was in the midst of a cancer diagnosis and cancer treatment. As a result, I was not at all engaged in the health care fight in Congress. I should have been but to be honest, I was recovering from a radical hysterectomy, in a fog of depression, and exhausted and nauseous. From chemotherapy and radiation. July 3 &#...

Little Miss Singletrack: January 2010
http://valeriejdosland.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Enjoying what each day brings, usually on a bike ride, but not always. Sunday, January 17, 2010. Ready, Set, Go. I've been back with my coach and on the bike since December but all of my focus has been on recovering from cancer treatment and getting used to physical activity again. So, I've been riding but it has been without much focus. However, I feel good and rested so my coach will start focusing the training and I can focus again on what I love - the bike and endurance riding. Yeah! Wisconsin Off Ro...

Little Miss Singletrack: Not checking it off my bucket list
http://valeriejdosland.blogspot.com/2010/06/not-checking-it-off-my-bucket-list.html
Enjoying what each day brings, usually on a bike ride, but not always. Monday, June 21, 2010. Not checking it off my bucket list. I was hoping I would be able to write and tell you that I finished but not today. I finished 2 laps - a total of 66 miles which took me 8 and a half hours. Am I content with that? Not really. Did I try my hardest? Yes Did it hurt? Did I have fun? The race was perfect in many ways - great singletrack. Perfect weather, no mechanicals. And no injuries or wipeouts. I love to bike ...

Little Miss Singletrack: July 2010
http://valeriejdosland.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Enjoying what each day brings, usually on a bike ride, but not always. Friday, July 30, 2010. One year ago today I was diagnosed with Stage 1B2 cervical cancer. It's been an interesting journey and one that changed my life, for the better, surprisingly. Throughout this experience I've felt a range of emotions and feelings - fear, anger, hope, gratitude, frustration -and have spent a lot of time thinking about my life, what I want and who I want to be. But I wasn't prepared to be patient after treatment!

Little Miss Singletrack: The Lumberjack
http://valeriejdosland.blogspot.com/2010/05/lumberjack.html
Enjoying what each day brings, usually on a bike ride, but not always. Friday, May 21, 2010. Last summer, before I found out I had cancer, I had thought about trying the Lumberjack again in 2010. It's something I kept thinking about but in the end decided not to because I was so unsure of how I would recover from chemotherapy and radiation. I instead decided to focus on getting healthy while still doing some endurance races. YES but cancer was harder. Have a great time! Great to run into you yesterday!
