It's been a short summer, and after the insanity of the last school year, all I wanted was a chance to rest, heal, and recharge. We didn't plan a single trip or vacation, and though I will admit to feeling a little jealous of everyone's beach pictures, I can't say I even wanted to deal with the stress or hassle of preparing for a trip or leaving the comfort of home. But that's not to say I didn't get any miles under my belt. Nearly every morning I got up and hopped on my bike or took a long walk. I never thought I could ever be an exercise before coffee kind of girl until I experienced the beauty and serenity of a sunrise ride on my bike (and because if I started too late, I couldn't take the Texas heat). So far, I've ridden 300 miles in the last six weeks, and I hope to ride at least another 50 more before I go back to work in a week. I hope to still take a short morning walk before starting each day, at least while the sunlight and weather cooperate with my schedule, but you can be sure I'll be hitting my bike for a sunset ride as many evenings as I can.
Captivated by that baby bird who hadn't yet learned to fly.
