Day 5: Rest day in Spokane

Day #5:

I woke up at about 5:30 this morning even if I could have slept in later. I guess my body has a hard time sleeping in later. I went out to the common room in our dorm and saw that the 20 something riders had a party the night before. I hope that their hangovers arn't to bad today.

I was making out post cards to my sponsors when I was joined by several of the other riders (Joe, Chuck, Ed, and Barb) . It was nice to talk to and to get to know some of the other riders. Joe, Kevin, Ed, Barb, Liz, Janet, Steph, and I went out for breakfast. We lucked out and found a restaurant with an all you can eat buffet (boy can bikers eat). I am eating so much, but already after 4 days of riding my body is beginning to change. I feel myself getting stronger every day, and my lungs are at at least 98%. YEA!!!!

Here I am now after breakfast at the library again updating my blog and catching up with my email. Later today Akira will be here to take us out for dinner and bring us somethings that all of us need. (sun block for me).

Tomorrow we ride to Sand Point, ID. I will be met there by Vicki Buska (a fellow CRNA at Madigan Army Medical Center). She is hosting me at her house for the night. I am getting so spoiled. That will be three nights in a row in a bed, instead of a tent.

Please look back over my previous blog posts as I have updated those too, and take a look at Stephanie's blog for more pictures and her thoughts on the ride. I will continue to keep up with a least something on the blog every day with Akira's help, but for full updates that will come on my rest days.
