Recently, while visiting family in West Virginia, I rediscovered how much I loved just getting out and wandering. Whether it be on foot or bicycle, the satisfaction is in the movement and in the case of my vacation, exploration of the completely unknown. A good pair of sneakers or boots, a bottle of water and (sometimes) an mp3 player (my GOD, how I love being able to carry thousands of songs in my pocket!!), and I can be completely content - for HOURS!
So, today, even though I woke up with a sore throat, I managed to put nearly 20 miles on my bicycle as I worked through nearly 3 hours of music (no one said it was a race - I'll take as long as I please!) and about a liter of water. I explored mile after mile of bike trail in the City; as much as possible in parks and quiet, tree-lined residential areas. Bliss. I returned home tired, sweaty and completely full of myself! I think I'll do it again tomorrow . . . wish me luck and blue skies.
