2023 week 7: feeling better

Last week I started to feel better and was so grateful for it! I am officially off of antibiotics, I’m noticing my resting heart rate returning to normal, and I have more energy. #sograteful

I got some good mileage in last week, but am still a bit behind on cycling 28 hours in February. We will see how this week shakes out and just how close I can get to achieving my goal.

So grateful to be back on the bike, feeling better, and for these ladies to ride with

Monday I got to run outside in SHORTS in FEBRUARY in IOWA…WHAT?! Oh yeah!! Don’t worry…by Thursday we were back to real Iowa winters.

Grateful for:
💙 shorts weather in February in Iowa

💙 the therapy I get from pounding the pavement

The small amount of snow we got on Thursday quickly melted with the sunshine + warmer temps we had over the weekend.

Sushi!!! It has been far to long since we last had sushi for dinner!!

I think I saw more kites in one place today at the kite festival on Clear Lake than the cumulative number of kites I’ve seen in my entire lifetime. 🪁 It was a beautiful winters day to venture out and experience something new! 💙
