100 miles

2 years ago today I was lucky enough to have my spine operated on by a very talented surgeon, Nick Boeree and his team.  I've come so far since then, so I thought it fitting to commemorate the anniversary with something I've never done before, something that would have been impossible without the gift I was given 2 years ago.  I rode 100 miles today on my bike.  My back was absolutely fine the entire way, just as it has been since I completed my recovery.  This ride also happened to bring my yearly mile total to just over 1000 miles.  I'm still grateful every day to have my life back, and after 2 years, that feeling still has not worn off.  Thanks, Nick.  The memory of you lives on in each mile.
