Gaviota State Park, CA to Santa Monica, CA - 27 Miles
Stephen reminded me today of something that happened during our first year of marriage. He asked me to be the family physical fitness coordinator and we both sustained me in that calling. Today he informed me that I am currently going above and beyond in that capacity. I admit that throughout the years of our marriage I have fluctuated between very active and less-active in my responsibilities, but I agree that right now I am magnifying my calling. Now I just need to figure out how to maintain the momentum once we return to a more balanced lifestyle.
On our first day riding, 18 miles took us until 3pm. It appears that we are getting faster and more efficient. Today we rode 27 miles in 2 1/2 hours! It may have also have been that we were excited to make it to our destination. We are in Santa Barbara now and plan to take the rest of the weekend off visiting with Stephen's Aunt and Uncle and their family.
We relaxed for a few hours after our ride, did some laundry (without using quarters), showered (without using quarters), then went out for dinner and a movie. I don't think the few dishes I volunteered to do made a dent in the debt of gratitude.
Thank you Mike and Janet!
