I'm always hoping someday I will do something physically extraordinary. Hike a big mountain, bike a long distance, learn to run. There is a small voice, more of a whisper actually, that often says "come on, try something daring". I think for many people that voice is either much louder or they are listening much harder than I am. That is certainly the case for this story I heard on NPR this evening. I was so inspired I thought would do a post on it. Too often we put too many restrictions on ourselves, come up with too many excuses. I'm too old, I'm out of shape, I have no time, I'm not good at this or that. Sometimes I wonder what would happen if we silenced that voice and started listening to the one that says, come on you can do it, it will be fun, imagine the experience. If you feel this way as well you will be inspired reading the story below of Jill Homer, of Juneau, Alaska, who is training to ride her bicycle in the Iditarod Trail International — 350 miles of wintry pedaling over tough terrain. You'll also see a link to her blog where you can follow her story, I know I will be!
