“Everyone needs beauty as well as
bread, places to pray in and play in, where nature may heal and give strength
to the body and soul alike.”
------John Muir
I never realized that pain could be so rewarding. I have gotten much wiser and do my running much earlier if before the light of the day because the trip to Hardee County made me realize that the cycling is okay even in the heat but the running is a killer.
It actually reached 98 degrees today and you will see from the posting of the picture from Glades County as I was standing near the board at the library which reflects 92 degrees. The great thing about cycling is that the breeze really keeps you cool and tend to forget how hot it is until you stop and take a drink of water.
I do manage to drink plenty of liquid and make stops along the way. When I am riding in the populated area it is nice. However, when I was cycling along those long roads with nothing but cows and field to remain me of my journey it is not fun.
Therefore, I believe those of you who love nature will appreciate the quote.
I will post more about my journey because it was one of the rewarding and exciting of all my trips so far. I not only visited the school districts and met with the superintendents but I got see a brand new combined Middle and High School in the Glades and the School District in the government complex during my visit to Hendry County.
You will be in for a treat as I share with you the story of cycling along the longest area of walking trail that Governor Lawton Chiles completed during his walk.
Just as they do on Sport Center on radio and the News on television; you have wait a little bit to read about my entire wonderful journey today. I am even going to give you a picture this time on my next post. Until then please enjoy one of my favorite quotes which I just got today from my mentor and great friend.
