Mileage!

Today is the 25th of May.  On June 25, I'll start my trek. Because of that, I thought I'd better start ramping up my mileage. But with 12 hour work days, it is not so easy to muster up the energy to ride. Even though I was able to manage at least 7 miles per day this week, I was feeling rather whimpy because of it.  This is a far cry from the 50 I plan a month from now.  But upon further analysis, I discovered something... Since April of 2016, I've kept track of my mileage in preparation for this summer.  After adding it all up, I've ridden just over 2100 miles. What?! I did THAT?  I guess I'm not really a whimp after all. 😊

When all is said and done, I don't know if I'll ride 50 miles a day or 100 or even 20 this summer. Besides, it's not about the mileage. Right now, it's hard to realize that because that's all I can see.  I don't know what's coming with those miles, no matter what kinds of plans I make.

So, I trust that the plans I make, now and on the road, will get me "there", keep me safe, and inspire me along the way. But in the meantime i'll keep peddling and let you know what happens! 😉
