Day 33

Woke up and rode the other way on the bike trail. No wind but some crazy fog! It was supposed to be warm but that wouldn’t really happen while we were in town.

I rode to the next town over and took some pics. Iowa has a pretty nice trail system! Perry is the town were the race was held yesterday.

The fog lifted on my way back, but not before leaving some beautiful ice on the trailside fauna!

Day 32

Starting a new month! Celebrating birthdays! Luckily the Mediterranean diet does include desserts!

I got up and rode my bike on the bike trail literally right next to our friends house in Iowa. It was super windy so I rode into the wind. I was soooo slow! The ride back was better but I also realized my tires were low, so I would’ve ridden better. Oops.

Also realized we were like 10 miles from a small town winter bike “race.” The Perry BRR. Unfortunately it was during the birthday party which is why we were traveling. Oh well!

Day 31

One month complete!!

Today was a little bit of a challenge as we drove to Iowa after work. I snuck in my walk after work which meant we arrived even later at our final destination. The bigger challenge was water consumption and a 4 hour drive! Really that just meant I had a lot of water to drink when we arrived. And finding food that was compliant with the Mediterranean diet on the road! 

Luckily gas station food has improved!

Day 30

Still in the heatwave! Almost 50 today. At yesterday’s appointment I also got the Covid and Flu vaccines so I was feeling a little sick this morning. So I just did 45 minutes of yoga.

I felt better as the day went on! And enjoyed the warm walk! We went out on the ice again. But not as far out today.
