As an Entrepreneur and Father, time for personal activity is short. I feel it is imperative to be active for myself and to set an example for my kids. 30 years of running had begun to take its toll on my body, so I picked up cycling last year.
This year, I completed a 500 mile week long cycling event organized to raise funds for a shelter for runaway kids in Trenton NJ (Anchor House). The trip - easy. The training (1500 miles over a few months) not.
The time required meant many missed dinners and events. I am proud to support a wonderful cause, my kids are even more proud and understand the importance of keeping fit and helping the community.
