Our friend and famous Mississippi artist Wyatt Waters stopped by to join the celebration with friends.
Recognize any faces behind the masks?
So today I headed to the Ridgeland Trails close to the Natchez Trace. It occurred to me that all but a few of those walking, running or cycling were together. So when it comes to exercising, we choose to be alone and yet we're still part of the exercising community. Maybe we just like to leave on our own schedule, maybe we want to go at our own pace, or maybe we just need this time to be really "alone" to reflect on our day, our marriage, our life and our accomplishments.
By being on the same trail we still are connected as part of the exercising community, yet not really having to talk with each other. Similarly in a gym the same thing applies although conversations are more likely to be had with those exercising close to you. What I like about riding the bike alone is that I can truly think and dream without being interrupted. Invariably any Innkeeper will tell you that while at the Inn you never have any alone time. Your guests and your staff constantly are vying for your time. So having this escape time is helping me be more creative and giving me the "space" I need to dream and reflect.
Completed 22.1 miles in 1 hr. 45 mins. At 12.7 mph burning 668 calories. Elevation climb was 1,214 ft. I could have biked much further but ran out of daylight. Went to the end of the Trace Trail hence the photo below.
For those of you following the Red Chair around the country at B&B's, I think my bike in these photos could become the next red chair!
By the way did you know that only 14 percent of the traveling public think about staying at a B&B or Inn. Hence the "Better Way To Stay" logo on my home page. Click on the link to learn more about the BETTER WAY TO STAY!
