Today was a gorgeous day. Not much different than it's been around here. Highs in the 80's during the day and 60's at night. Just perfect.
I did something a bit different today. I biked to Rosenthal's study in Lady Lake. Usually it takes me like 10 minutes and about 5 miles to get there by car. But with rotaries, or around here they call them roundabouts, and loads of traffic along the normal route I took the back way which mostly took me along country roads with hardly any traffic. Of course it was about 7 1/2 miles one way, but it was worth it.
While I love to go biking it wasn't my idea to do this. My husband needed the car to go out on a job that is about 2 1/2 hours away. He tried to make his appointment on any other day but Tuesday but could not. He knows I take the car on Tuesdays. So I had a choice to either skip this study or bike to it.
I couldn't bear to miss it so I opted to bike it. Took my water, a granola bar, my bible and a pen and off I went. It took me about 45 minutes to get there. Many hills later I made it to my destination and received many comments as I locked up my bike in the parking lot.
After the hour and a half meeting I came out, unlocked my bike and was again stopped by a lady asking me about how far I had traveled to get there. After a few minutes of talking with her, Marv came out and I got to chat with him as well and off I went. He wished me safety wanting to see me next week. I wouldn't miss this for anything.
My legs felt a bit sore but I knew I could just take it easy on the way home. The rolling hills were easier coming home than going out until I hit close to home then they got pretty steep again.
After a good hearty lunch, I napped for an hour or so and then went out (after David called and woke me up) on the bike again to check out an open house about 2 or 3 miles away. Of course there's a huge hill on both ends of this ride so now my legs are feeling very worked out.
I'm not sure if I'll run later or not. If I do it will be a short three miler.
What a beautiful day to spend outdoors.
