Day 40 – 42.5 km (total – 815.5 km)

Sarah says she hates cooking… but she’s amazing! Heuvos Rancheros!

I’ll fill you in on a little secret… walking over 7 hours a day is way harder than running 4 and a half (at least for me!).  Today was one of those damp winter days where the cold gets under your skin and leaves you with the chills all day.  Snow was consistent throughout much of the day but little of it stuck around.  Tonight, there is excitement in the RV as I have less than 100 kilometres left to the ferry!  There will be many pseudo finish lines along the way and the ferry back to the mainland is one of them.  So we anticipate the next couple of days and hope for good weather.

A good friend sent me a poem she found a little while ago and I came across it again tonight.  It seems fitting given the last couple of days – maybe even the last couple of weeks!

“When things go wrong as they sometimes will;
When the road you’re trudging seems all uphill;
When the funds are low, and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but have to sigh;
When care is pressing you down a bit-
Rest if you must, but do not quit.
Success is failure turned inside out;
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt;
And you can never tell how close you are
It may be near when it seems so far;
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit-
It’s when things go wrong that you must not quit.”

Not a lot of room in the ol’ RV for the foam roller… but making it work!
