I rode for a little more than one hour and that ride amounted to about 12.5 miles of riding. It went well, but seemed harder than I recall.

Hi Debbie,

Yeah, in the past I have written on how skiing can force an intense and narrow focus. If I am skiing fast in a challenging situation the only thing that matters is staying up and not crashing. My peripheral vision is near 0 and even if I have my MP3 going I do not notice it. I also note there are times on the ski hill when the focus is not so tight and intense, that is the time I spend on training and thinking about what I am doing, rather than just doing.

Yeah, life is exactly like that. There are times for narrow intense focus and times for a broad and wide focus. There is a time for ever season under the sun.

That last paragraph of yours got me to thinking. I’ve been working on trying to live in the moment. Your analogy really describes how I use to live most of my life. Worrying about that last hill back home. Thanks for the food for thought. Have a great day!
