A Marathon Bike Ride


Last Saturday a friend and I rode 26 miles on our bikes. The picture above was taken at the turn around point halfway through our ride. It was an amazing feeling to know I could ride that far in just over 2 hours and not be so sore and out of breath I had to sleep the rest of the day. I can't say that I understand why people want to run that far, but it was an amazing ride.

Eight months ago I couldn't keep up with Benjamin on his bike, now he can't keep up with me. It feels so good to be strong enough to ride this far and still have energy to go play with my kiddos afterwards!
