And so it begins….
Well that actually isn’t the case.
The thought, the idea of participating in the National Ride started a long time ago. It was a cold day in February when I made the decision to make a difference, in my life and to others.
What’s really begun is the aggressive part of the training, mimicking each day as if you were actually on the ride itself.
Watching to make sure that you have the most efficient intake of food, pacing yourself physically to not burn out too soon, or underestimating your goals for the day.
It’s quite humorous if you think about it. Imagine yourself in a meeting, where you’re checking your pulse, constantly staying hydrated and depending on the meeting, nibbling on some food. (Secretly of course).
I wonder sometimes what drives us to do the things that we do.
My mother used to say, that when you want something enough, you feel it. I never got that as a child, but it becomes more and more real as I go through this experience.
So my intent over the next two months is to explore this feeling with you, as of this moment, I am driven to achieving this goal, and more importantly, I feel it.
