Happy New Year!

Last week I saw a post on FB from my friends in CO of their little outdoor christmas tree covered in snow.  I thought about that image as I was riding my bike in sunny SWFL!!



Cape Coral was voted as one of the safest cities for cyclists stated by the League of American Cyclists. Well, it's obvious here, there is no one on the road. LOL!   No really, there are 8 dedicated bike routes that get you off the main roads. Flat, yes, windy, yes, hot, yes. 




BIG shout out to my friend Dr. Schaller who put together my bike after the crash last October. New bars, stem, tape, cables, and rigging it up just right. Thank you Jonathan!! It's hard to imagine that it's been a little over a year since that day I completely separated my shoulder. My bike is still riding like a charm. Although I have not put in as many miles on my bike as I have in the pool/ocean, still - Life is Good!


We don't have a shortage of bikes to ride either!!




The best way I know to ring in the New Year for 1/1/2016 is to swim in the ocean with my friends in Naples. 



 Russ and I enjoyed a fabulous date night at a sushi place called Origami where one of our neighbors is a chef. We sat at the sushi bar. The food was very fresh, and we will make this place regular. 




I am extremely excited to increase our Master's practices to four days a week. So excited that I prepared the practices ahead of time.
