Some days you get stuff done early. The blog post is complete, the email’s all answered, and you’re just on top of everything.
Some days are Friday and you needed some extra sleep and you just need to be honest about it.
Today is Friday.
Yesterday’s ride was … fine. Long stretches of highway, no lakes, just trees and cars and miles and the river growing each time we crossed paths. Just forty uneventful miles from Brainerd to Little Falls.
Today we head south from St. Cloud. We’ll have lunch with some home-school high schoolers, then return this evening to speak to their families.
This has been an amazing week a wonderful beginning to a memorable story. I’m excited to write the next chapter.
I hope you’re following along. I hope you’re inviting friends, sharing the story of hope, and perhaps doing your own 1500 challenge.
Most of all, I hope you’re using these days to write a memorable story with your own life.

When you’re in the midst of something you’re passionate about, it’s easy to forget why you started. This morning I reposted some principles for Avoiding Burnout over at Bouncing Back.

Rich, Love keeping up with the daily blog. Feel a bit responsible for Becky’s fall. I assume Monty fell out of the burley we rigged up for him. Press on brother. Your journey lifts me daily to face what appears to be a challenge, until I read your blog. Puts my day in perspective. Roll on! John Terpstra
Just kidding!! I check your status about 3 to 4 times a day and really enjoyed the video on the Paul Bunyan Trail. Diana and I are seriously thinking of rideing that trail next year. Looks very inviting. Keep up the good work.
Will you rest up this weekend?
We are amazed at your progress – great cranking. We are so enjoying the updates.
Rich,
You continue to inspire me with your positive attitude and your abilility to shrug off many miles of long bikeing. I am reminded of your 1500 challenge and wanted you to know that a neighbor of mine fell and broke her hip. Diana and I will take down a quart of home made soup and it must be at least 1500 inches down to her house. Does that count for anything?
