Getting ready...sort of

Last night, my friend George mentioned that he would be going for a ride the next morning. I asked what his plan was...thinking it might be good to start pacing with another cyclist. He was biking to Strathroy and back about 60km. Panic....I don't think I'm ready for that!!! Of course then my head took off...What am I thinking? Am I ever going to be ready for 100-120 kms a day? Everyday for 9 weeks? The emotional toll of 24/7 people for 9 weeks? I'm a social being but those who are closest to me will tell you that I only tolerate people for so long...and then I become intolerable. There is a reason I haven't had a roommate for over 19yrs!!!
It's often overwhelming to think about what I am committing to.( And I don't want any posts about my commitment issues-Tracy..Eric...George..) I am hoping and praying that more confidence will come with each small step of progress and even some in regaining ground when progress is lost.
I'm definitely outside my comfort zone. I don't think that's a bad thing. I really feel God's presence in this...that this is right and sure. So I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.
