I have another milestone under my belt. The McClinchy Mile is a biking event w/ 17 to 46 mile loops. Brian & I went with the 17 mile loop & I'm proud to announce that I completed 16 of those 17 miles! I wish I could have finished that last mile, but I'm really happy I got as far as I did. I figured 10 miles would be a miracle and those first 10 were really enjoyable. But after another 6 miles I was bawling, shacking, bleeding, & bruised. I was a sad sight I'm sure. Not only was my body spent, but I'm learning to use clips on my shoes & fell over 3 stinkin' times! It was awful. That's where the bleeding & bruising came from. I seriously want to huck those clips in the garbage! But live & learn. And as much as I wanted to hang up my hat after this ride, I know I've barely begun to fight! Bring it on!!!
