Yesterday was my best day yet on this trip.
I didn’t get any personal bests, but I walked a solid 75 kms.
The weather, highways, and people were great.
And there were only a few pesky bugs to worry about.
And today is much the same as yesterday. Just a great day all around.
Yesterday, I was interviewed by a journalist intern named Michaela from the Brandon Sun.
One of the questions she asked me was to sum up this trip in one word.
I said ‘fun’, but I knew right away that wasn’t true.
I should have said ‘freedom’.
It hasn’t been fun much, and for many days, it wasn’t fun at all.
But since the start, I have enjoyed an amazing sense of freedom.
Freedom to live my life the way I want.
Freedom to chase my dreams without interference.
Freedom to make my own mistakes and learn from them.
The freedom of the open road.
And the freedom to simply choose to walk or not to walk.
It’s the best feeling ever.
