Quest #1 Walk to Rivendell - Opportunity to Fail

So I have to say that I almost failed epically today.  Infact, if I hadn't known that I would have to report to you all that I failed my first out of town experience, then I absolutely would have!

I had a tire blow out yesterday and after getting back late to the hotel I was staying at, I was exhausted and crashed.  When my alarm went off this morning, I was still zonked.  I really didn't want to get up and get out of bed.  It wouldn't hurt to not walk today, right?

Then I thought of my goal.  I really want to reach it.  Not to mention that I really didn't want to worry about reporting failure.  So I got up.  I went outside, and I walked 1.65 miles.  Then I went to my meeting location and walked 0.91 miles.  When I got home, I walked an additional 2.44 miles with Percy.  The grand total?  A whopping 5 miles!  This puts me at 48.81 miles for the wee so far!  See what a fellowship can do for you?

I have to admit that it was tough on the road, and I need to make better food choices.  BUT one step at a time, and at least this first step was conquered: getting in miles despite the number of chances to fail!  Kinda felt like a Jedi in Middle Earth today!
