hi guys as you know my mum goes into hospital on may 24,,and she will be in there a week for her knee op,,i havent been more than 2-3 miles from my home for the last 3 years and now i am making it my mission to get to hospital to see her ,,,,the hospital is around 6-7 miles arhhhh,,but i have come to the conclusion that if i dont get there to see her i would never forgive myself!!!so tonite i made a promise to myself that i would go a little further everyday so eventually i could make it there by the 24,,bit of a tall order i know but there really is no alternative,,so here tonite is my diary,,,i started tonite quite positve got on my mountain bike rather than my car because somehow i feel much more comfortable with my cycle,,so off i go i got nearly a quarter of the way and stopped sat down on a bench and chilled ,,the first day i really didnt want to overset my goals because if i had pushed myself and gone further then i may have panicked and that of course is defeating the object,,so today i feel comfotable with what i have acheived which is the important thing,,so tomorow i will go a little further until hopefully on may the 24 week i will feel ok about visiting my mum ,,so i will beback tomorow with an update,,any support would be most welcomed thanks guysxxxxxxxdarren
