DAY 97 - Three more days. The Mission 100-Mile Challenge ends Monday at the stroke of midnight. Theres something about an approaching deadline that slows down time--the pleasures of the moment fade into the background and the finish line grabs all your attention. I miss the challenge already, but at the same time, I wont deny Im ready for a locally brewed beer (with forbidden barley) with friends at a restaurant.
