Day 140 - Portage La Prairie

The road was pretty flat and straight running today. It was a beautiful sunny day and no wind. Linda had made me a great breakfast so I had lots of energy and felt good. At one point I passed some guys working on a highway sign and they all waved and asked me where I was going. I always get a chuckle out of their reactions.

While I was running I thought about my sister travelling to Ottawa to bring her daughter to university. They would get her settled in and visit with my parents for a bit before they left. It felt a bit odd that they would be there and I wasn't.

I was happy to reach Portage La Prairie but when I called my sister she had some bad news. Her mother-in-law passed away. She had been sick for awhile. She was a wonderful lady. I was a bit sad that I was going to miss the service for her and couldn't be there to support my sister and her family. My prayers are with them.
