Thanks for the many kind notes and calls over the past week. Very thankful for so much care.
One of my few seared me with a PR on his pelly. Said he rode for me and put himself in the pain zone. Did an hour ride. Killed it. So, this morning, I decided to hop on my pelly while Miss was still sleeping and ride for her. Put myself in the pain zone. Chose it. Did not PR but came close. Watched The Tour, rode the pelly, thought about Miss. Took me back to 2019 riding Col du Glandon and wanting to quit. Thought of my dad. Kept pedaling. Together when apart. Powerful.
Live hard. Love ❤️ harder. Together. Always together (even when apart)…
BUILT TO LEAD 
I do things like this because of you. You’ve modeled the way through chosen suffering since the day I met you and it change my life, transformed to be exact.
DD – I’d like to “DOUBLE DOWN” on that comment. So true. I do many things NOW, TODAY that I would have NEVER thought about doing a few years ago…CHOSEN SUFFERING – Brother Chet – take it – take in what so MANY (not just the FEW) are telling you…and more importantly showing you through action – You have changed many lives and will change MANY MORE. Love and hugs and deep prayers from the two of us across the pond to you, MISS and your tribe.
In this life AND the next,
Jim
