Hello.
I looked around wondering where spring had gone, and it's already early summer. The weather feels like the full heat of summer will arrive even sooner than expected.
I wonder how everyone is getting on with their competition preparations.
I'd say the time between spring and summer is perhaps the best period for the body to be in peak condition.
Ah... truly... it's dazzling.
Particularly today, the yoshino cherry trees are in full bloom, and the brilliant light along with the bright expressions on people's faces feels like something I haven't seen in a long time.
Let's always give each day our best.
If you put it off until next time, that next time may never come.
After working overtime, I lay down for a quick nap but my body was too restless and I just couldn't stay still.
I quickly grabbed my summer clothes from the wardrobe, got ready with excitement, and headed out into the late afternoon.
This is the most enviable little guy in the world...
About 7 years ago, someone had been raising this cat well, but it seems they had its vocal cords operated on — it can't meow properly and only makes a raspy, wheezing sound.
I feel a bit sorry for it, and since it would often come visit the flowerbed in front of where I stay, I fed it a variety of food — nothing expensive, but well-rounded — and it's still healthy.
Whenever I head out with my bicycle, it gives me a look as if to say "have a safe trip," and I respond to that bro's silent greeting with a nod, as if to say "I'll be back."
It's something I deal with all the time as part of daily life, but the moment I enter the road, the peace is shattered.
Even when I ride hugging the very edge of the lane near the parking line, cars that deliberately cut close and overtake me — I just smirk at them.
To enjoy what I love, I inevitably have to face the things I must endure, and after passing through those somewhat lawless intersections,
the road to Bugak is just so incredibly peaceful^^
That's the feeling I'm after.
Sometimes when I spot a pretty flower, I stop and look at it from every angle, gently touch it with a fingertip, and find myself reviewing what family of plant it belongs to — I realize my landscaper's occupational habit
never quite goes away. I take in the fragrance to my heart's content, look around, and then think "I'm supposed to be exercising, what am I doing here?" and quickly set off again into this afternoon.
It's lovely.
True to its status as a local legend, coming here so often means the scenery never looks the same across all four seasons throughout the year — so whether I'm quickly loosening up my body in a short, intense visit,
or stopping here because my condition just isn't great, doing a few laps always leaves me feeling refreshed. It's a sense of accomplishment I've had for a long time now.
I get asked endlessly whether I ever get tired of it...
But riding up and down the winding mountain in the middle of the city, as many times as I like, is such a mood booster that I just can't help coming back out of habit^^
Today there weren't many people wearing fresh, bright colors.
Black cycling gear looks great too, but as someone who enjoys seeing others dressed in cheerful, bright outfits more, now that it's getting warmer,
I think we'll be able to enjoy a rainbow of colorful clothing, and I have a feeling the long-distance rides ahead will feel all the more vibrant^^
One thing that was a bit disappointing today — not everyone does this, of course — but there was a bicycle taking up an entire bike rack and deliberately parked sideways...
Riders of high-end brand P and brand F seem to carry themselves a certain way.
Sure, the bikes look great...
But even without parking like that, a nice bike doesn't go unnoticed — people who know, know.
^^ At least there was still one spot left at the end to rack mine...
But more than that, riding straight through a crowd of group tourists was a bit hard to understand.^^;;;
Usually it's not hard to go around the side and avoid a place where people are gathered...
The bicycle itself is a beautiful C brand bike, hmm...
Looking at it this way, I can't help but notice how similar it is to the particular off-putting sense of pride you see in some high-end car owners..^^
Sometimes inconvenient things happen, but it's easier to just draw a line and move on...
It's fun, and I wonder why... It's like the scenery of spring in a variety of everyday life.^^
Life these days is very difficult, economically, socially, and in the humanities, but above all, I want to set myself right.
I feel good when I meet those wonderful people who are struggling hard even today.
It's because of those few people that I can live with a good mood.^^
At times like this, if you try to have a good heart and think good thoughts...
It will definitely be different.
Because the world is reflected as you imagine it.
I think it's before the scorching heat comes, when I eat a lot of delicious food.
Because the weather is hot, there are more things to be careful about, such as street food.
Be careful with your food and supplement your nutrition with good natural foods. Please take care of your health in this hot early summer weather.^^
Smile~
See you tomorrow.
I don't know what other exciting thoughts and events will come.
Have a good night.
ps. Lightweight Rider eats snacks several times. This is a disadvantage. 쩝.
