I went over 800 miles today, and found my trail was lengthened!
Today I found my local trail has been lengthened from 10 miles to 15 miles! Now I can do a 30 mile round trip, and still finish it coming down hill! Also today was a major milestone for me. I finally broke the 800 mile mark. I am well on my way to hitting the thousand mile year.
I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who gave me advice and kept my spirits high when I was having trouble.
