Heather, that's fantastic! Those of us who've struggled "to get back there" know exactly how hard you've worked to get here! Keep at it - don't let it slip away on you after all this hard work!!!!!!

Great job!!

That is a major distance that can feel all uphill at first. Now you can enjoy the otherside and enjoy the ride! There will be no stopping you.
Lesson one: "Don't fight the trail - take what it gives you. If you have a choice between one step or two between rocks, take three".

Lesson two: "Think Easy, Light, Smooth and Fast." You start with easy, because if that's all you get, that's not so bad.
