So the MS150 is just about 2 weeks away. I knew the moment would come in preparing for this that I would begin to get the "pre-game jitters". Well...that time is now!
My level of fear is ratcheted up largely because after having a 2nd, pretty hard fall on Good Friday, I am even further behind the proverbial 8 ball.
With 2 weeks left to train...I have less than 40 to 50 percent mobility in my left knee...which makes pedaling a bike a bigger challenge than I expected at this point in my training!
It certainly feels as if I keep running into unexpected obstacles that make me question my own ability to complete this challenge. Not the first time THAT has happened...sure it won't necessarily be the last...BUT...
I don't feel like giving up!
The reality is that I probably am a long shot for finishing...and further...most of the people that I am supposed to ride with will more than likely see me at the beginning of Day 1 for the last time until we meet at the end of each day!!
I am alright with that...
This challenge will not be about a great finish...may not even be about finishing at all...
But it IS about persistence....it IS about being a part of something that is much bigger than me...It IS about overcoming the "No You Can'ts and proving the Yes I Can's...it IS about giving back and it IS about staying true to my Journey.
Forging On Prayerfully...with Hope and a bit of a bee in my bonnet...NOT QUITTING!
I have a "you can't" for you. "You can't stop inspiring me!" OMG. Your continued efforts, your persistence, your faith in your goal.. You inspire me. I'm glad you are blogging about your journey because you give me pushes to go in the strong direction. You are in my prayers and I know that you will accomplish greatness during the MS150, in whatever level of completion you achieve. Good luck and rock on!!
