I stood in front of the mirror tonight and cryed my eyes out, Why ? because the person looking back at me was well ermmm ME !!!!!! I never ever thought that after just 10 months of riding my bike to work and back home I would have come so far, Its not a fight anymore, its pleasure, its fun, I get exited and want MORE each and every time, I had done 99.9 miles when I got home, So I turned around and went up the road and back, there was no WAY I would end the week so close to 100 miles and FAIL, I did 100.77 Miles this week :) 

I am proud of what I have achieved but I must also remeber where I came from and must never ever go back, Keep fighting people and see the below pictures for the reason what inspired me to post this message tonight !!!!!

Babe  I am so proud of you! I remember the day you made the decision not to have surgery, how emmotional of a day that was. When all seemed hopeless and yet you never gave up, you fought back. So many will be proud, so many will be envious and so many will never understand what its like to be where you were and where you are today. I am so proud and lucky to apart of this journey with you. All of the ups and all of the downs I will always be right behind you!

Yay!!  I agree - there is no way you could end the week so close to 100 miles and not do them LOL.

You've come so far in such a short space of time - it takes while for our heads and emotions to catch up with our bodies doesn't it.

The pictures say it all - congratulations
