Day 10 - Build My Life
“For no one can lay a foundation other than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ” 1 Corinthians 3:11
The last 2 days have been pretty empty. I’m trying to remind myself that it is good to rest but often I grow impatient. I woke up after 11 hours of sleep last night. My heart was heavy remembering all those suffering. I got breakfast and met Rick. He works on the railroad so we chatted as I shoved my face full of food. But I was so grateful to have a meal with someone for the first time since I left 🙌. Got going and I knew it was going to be a hot one with few gas stations. I was pretty nervous. It was gonna be 90 so I tried working a bit harder in the morning. I started moving pretty good and felt really motivated to be back on the bike which I was so grateful for. Called mom and dad right as I got going. Got to talk to Papa as well. I called Jonny because I couldn’t figure out something with my instagram and needed his advice. Got to talk to Caleb, Maddie, Emily, and Kaylee. Around 80 I realized that I was actually at 80 miles. I woulda guessed 30 had I not known the time or distance. I was moving strong and it felt so light. At 100 I couldn’t even believe it. What an easy day! So amazing. I climbed a hill and turned a corner and could see the Rockies. It doesn’t even seem real but I can’t wait for tomorrow and the rest of the trip. Called Mom and Dad twice more as I hit some heat. It wasn’t too awful. I’m probably just more used to it now. Definitely grounded the last few hills as I got closer to the hotel where I’m staying. It’s amazing how easy 125 miles feels. Got checked in and got to Mimi and Papa. It’s always such a joy. Showered and then got some Pizza Hut. Called Elise, got some food for tomorrow and then went to bed. Great day. Can’t wait for tomorrow.
