Memories from 2 years ago π
Can't wait to do this all week again π
Early Mornings and Late Nights :
I slept about 2 solid hours last night and woke up just a bit after 6 this morning ... as I checked the trackers I saw a solo rider was near .
My first thoughts were honestly that I didn't want to move , I thought it doesn't matter if I go out or not , the kids aren't up to cheer and I'm too tired to do anything other than wave as they pass .
But I made myself get up , go to the bathroom and head out the front door to watch him pass ... as I was walking out towards the farmstand I saw him coming down the hill so I started waving a half awake type of lazy wave .
And then he slowed down and made a quick turn into the drive followed by a van and a few moments later another van !!!
They were just wanting a quick bathroom break ...
But for me it was absolutely wonderful to get to meet another incredible bicyclist and all the crew π
He looked good for all the miles he's already put in and we are rooting for him to make it to the finish line .
Do the hard things
And
Get up even when you don't want to
I'm so thankful I did today π
