We successfully made the three hour trip to Cincinnati this evening. That's a milestone compared to the 20 hour journey we will be taking in a couple of weeks. I'm not a fan of road trips. Especially 20 hour trips with three kids in tow. But. Now more than ever, I want to be with family. And the sun. This is going to be a long winter, for sure, especially when I want to be out running (did I just say that?) And riding. Right now I'm swimming, which I love, but there is nothing more cathartic than 20 miles of pure adrenaline. On the bike. I would never run 20 miles.
I'm rambling, or "webbing" as Scott would say. I do have a point. If Scott and the kids weren't with me, I would have had to make this trip alone - and I hate being alone. Being away takes so much energy, and I draw strength from my family. I'm very thankful they could come with me. Even though they drove me crazy for 3 hours. I wouldn't have it any other way.
