Today started off with waking up comfortably in my tent. With Maddy by my side (my bike. Yes, she stayed in my tent). Since I can't have Kevin, I suppose the next closest thing to him is my bike. It is both our pride and joy--cycling, that is.
Soon after, my sister, Jennifer, and I went for a run. She has started to make serious efforts to clean up her health. She has done a fantastic job in doing so and has lost almost 40lbs! I am very proud of her (and the rest of my family who have all also lost about 40lbs, each) but since Jen and I talk every day with weight and health goals and acheivements, it was great to run a mile with her. She told me I was her biggest motivator, and you don't know what that means to me, but it makes me very very happy.
Then I had to make up for yesterday and I got in a beautiful 58 mile ride. It was only supposed to be 50 miles, but I missed a turn. I'm really not upset. I still finished in 3 hours. It's great to have a new perspective of the roads I grew up on. :)
My favorite boys (Kevin and Darel) raced today in Lawerenceville, GA, and on my ride I stopped to give them a good luck thumbs-up. Both did very well and finished rubber side down. That makes me happy.
I have figured out my summer, schedule, details, etc, and I am very happy about this. Also a bit sad since I will be gone the great majority of June. I will miss my friends, boyfriend, and roommate very much, but I will get to meet plenty more people and see amazing sites and ride my bike along the way.
I am back at the campsite tonight with the whole family. It's nice to be back with everyone and doing the things I've missed out on for the past 5 years.
This is my life for the summer, and it does not bother me one bit. The world is my limit and there are endless possibilities. Take Hold of all the opportunities.
