After a brief ride along the coast, the route turned inland and became rolling hills. While I plan to increase my miles to 100+ per day during the journey, I'm ramping into the ride slowly to allow my body to adapt to the saddle and to the higher level of caloric needs.
Today's insight results from being showered by rocks a few times along the highway. Like a bicycle ride, life throws rocks at us from time-to-time. While we can brush off temporary discomfort, some injuries require long-term adaptations to physical and mental routines. The wisdom, expertise, and experience of a coach or counselor can help us sort through how serious the situation is and what can or should be done about it.
Also, thanks for your patience with the video sound quality. Today I learned that filming in front of fountains, though beautiful, does not lend itself to good audio recording quality!
