To wake up to a warm, soft sunrise with birds chirping overhead is an absolute pleasure. To then move your legs even an iota of an amount after cycling one hundred miles plus is an absolute nightmare. Everything below my navel was in some sort of state of sharp, sore pain. Fortunately, I had an easy day of cycling ahead of me.
And it was easy.
After saying my goodbyes to wonderful host, I shakily got back on my bike and lazily began pedaling. And it turns out that Florida, away from the beaches and tourists, feels remarkably similar to Michigan in the Summer. A nice warm, humid day full of green trees and people wandering about. I pedaled through fancy neighborhoods and along bike paths, really enjoying the day. After only three hours of cycling, one third of yesterday's, I was at my next location: Nova Southeastern University.
There I popped in to see an old friend from my undergraduate days. I also gave a short, very small talk to her graduate school cohort and warned them of the danger's that the head can have when we're not careful.
Overall, it was a relatively unexciting day. The most exciting bit being me finally watching the cultural juggernaut that is "Frozen."
Compared to yesterday, today was a much more enjoyable day. And tomorrow, it will be just as enjoyable.
