Day 221-223 – 142 km (total – 5477.4 km)

I have just returned from my parents treating me to a nice meal before saying goodbye and driving back to Winnipeg.  They were kind enough over the past few days to help me out as I ran west of Winnipeg, but as of tomorrow I am on my own again for awhile.

I can’t express how appreciative I am of family.  I am thankful for sisters who have been extremely supportive and for parents who have simply become best friends over the past many years.  Well, there is still a nagging mother somewhere in there at times, but you catch my drift!  Tonight I am tired and to be honest, somewhat sad that I leave my family behind.  But I know they are  with me and I will hold onto that over the next couple of months.  Saying thanks doesn’t cut it… few words will.

My friend Mel found me on the TCH today… it was fun catching up on life sitting in her car on the side of the highway!

I am anticipating school visits, which will start again soon.  And there are some other things planned in Regina, so I am looking forward to getting there in the next week and a half.
