I can't believe it! I had this overwhelming urge to go out bicycling again today, so I did! One of my goals is this beautiful, country valley road, but to get there, I have to go up a fairly steep, long hill. That's where I decided to go this afternoon.
It was a contest of my lungs. I don't have great lungs. I tried standing on the pedals for quite a way, but I found out that is more taxing on the lungs than sitting in low, low. So I sat in low, low, so low that I kind of wobbled my way up the hill. The muscles were okay, but the lungs were really working. Finally, I made it to the top.
Not wanting to have to come back that same elevation, I turned back down the same side, saving the beautiful valley for an earlier time of day.
I tooled around for another half an hour or so, exploring little retirement communities I'd seen but never driven through.
Now, I really am spent and content to call it a day. Thank-You, Lord.
