My spidey sense is broken

April 5, 2021April 2, 2021 aka gringita

March 29, 2021March 27, 2021 aka gringita

Well, onward, anyway.

We finished the LEJOG challenge and my medal is in transit to me.

Letting the morning tick away

March 22, 2021March 18, 2021 aka gringita

Will laying in bed — not sleeping and also not getting my workout — but just checking off the daily items I can do from bed (scripture, Duolingo, Rosetta Stone)…

February 25, 2021February 19, 2021 aka gringita

I’m still slowly approaching Portland and then the Columbia River Gorge. It’s a long way, and more so “on foot”.

Down to the nub

February 24, 2021 aka gringita

While most of my cooped-up time goes to pacing or pedaling like a madwoman, or cooking meals to celebrate fictional trips…

Reworking the route

February 21, 2021February 12, 2021 aka gringita

In case nearly 18000 miles wasn’t enough distance to try to virtually cover in 3 years (the max timeframe for a solo mission on MyVirtualMission.com), I just tweaked it upwards.

Slacking

January 31, 2021January 26, 2021 aka gringita
