It started out rough. The wind was cold and blowing hard right in my face. I started to get a sore throat, so covered my mouth with my scarf. Then it was hard to breathe. I really thought it wasn’t in the cards today, but just kept chugging along. When I turned at the half way point, the wind was now at my back and just let it push me home. It was worth it to just keep going. I feel fantastic! Honestly folks, when I started I was not confident that I was going to finish. But hear I am all done and ready for more.
