Happy Thursday... 2 more days of training to go!!
Year Six -
“I see sunflowers every year towards the end of my bike ride. It’s what reminds today that I can do anything-“
I tell myself every year that I can’t do it. But, I keep training. Through pain, life issues, and thoughts of defeat. I keep riding my bike. I start thinking about all of the hills that I have to climb and all of the people next to me. I have to remind myself that it’s not a race. It doesn’t matter who gets there first. It’s only important that if it’s in my power, that I try hard to finish what I started. To me, 60 miles is a long way to ride on a bike. It even gets lonely sometimes. There are moments on those back roads in Alabama when I look around and I am the only one on my path. I paint a picture of completion. There are flowers blooming all over the vast land of Alabama. When I ride through Tuskegee, I remember my first day in College and the excitement of working towards success. When you think about it. My journey on my bike is just like my life. It gets hard sometimes. But, the good has outweighed the bad. Things that I thought were impossible were made easy, and doubt just subsides with effort. Here I go again. Thank you Tiffany Leigh Jackson for the words of encouragement. Thank you for remembering that I do it for me. And...To see fine ass Bo LMAO. Let’s ride!!!!! #BoBikesBama
