"The greater danger for most of us lies not in the setting our aim too high and falling short, but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark" (Michelangelo).
So our daughter asked me if I wanted to go for a bike ride with her and I said "yes" before asking "how far?" "30 miles, but it's not too hilly." The most I had ridden recently is 15 miles and it only had 1 hill. But being game I agreed. I didn't say anything at the end of our ride (it was hilly and we had a headwind both ways...), but it was right at my limit of endurance. I am so glad I went though as it gave me confidence to push on to bigger and better and that I can do harder and harder things - not only physically, but psychologically too.
What great training this contest has been. Thanks Belly Bustin'.
