challenge & success

Yesterday I rode my bike (the kind you pedal) to church across down and back home after lunch. It was a pretty big challenge for me. I was skeptical on the way a couple times, not sure if I could make it. But I did! 6.7 miles there, 4.9 back. I took an out of the way track there because I wasn't sure where to cross the interstate. I only walked my bike about 4 1/2 blocks of the whole trip. And I only stumbled off my bike once, on 53rd crossing I-74 because the bridge curb drops off into oblivion. Greatest pick up line yelled across the street at me (when pushing my bike up the worst hill): "Want me to push your bike for you? I hate to see a beautiful woman in distress." I politely declined and hopped back on. So all in all. I love a good challenge, and I love meeting it. Success!
