Official 1st Day of Training

So I started my official training 3 days later than anticipated! I should have started the 1st weekend in June but instead I had to wait in line and get hubs a dad's day gift- Palm Pre cell phone. So I started Wednesday June 10th. It was getting dusk but what better time for a bike ride! So i started out down wards road and just kept going. I was like G I wonder if I can make it to the airport... that was easy enough so I wondered if I could make it to the next landmark.... that was doable so I was like I've come this far let's see if I can find Brandy's house! I hadn't been there since around the time of Blake's death- almost 6 years... Well I DID IT!! They were a bit shocked to see me... haha! And go figure my bike light batteries died on me. Lucky for me I had my camera with me so I swapped out batteries which was no easy task in the pitch black! I made it home in time for my 11pm news... so was biking about 3 hours. It ended up being 17 miles round trip! The trip back felt easier. Training this time round is feeling easier but only time will tell that!
In front of the airport, taking a break from the speeding 18 wheelers trying to run me over for their road kill supper!
