Beautiful Mid-October Day

Time around here is on super-speed at times, and at other times, it moves as slow as molasses.  I continue to heal and improve from the surgeries last year, with fluid retention and shortness of breath still being  issues that the doctors say I shouldn't be having since the echocardiograms show that my heart has healed beautifully.  Irregardless, I still have those problems.  I have been riding my bike on my Wahoo trainer most days.  I have done this for the last 2 months and I'm up to 43 minutes and 4 miles on it.  I rode my outside bike last Saturday and it was wonderful.  Rode 10 miles.  My friend, Joannie, came for a visit this past Monday, and we took a walk on the Greenbelt which is near my house.  We walked 2.81 miles, the longest walk I've been on since all of this heart stuff started last Spring.  I am making progress.  :)

I love October and am reveling in these beautiful days.  The skies are unbelievably blue and the leaves are slowly starting to turn. 
We had our first frost yesterday morning, and we had some this morning, but it's going to warm back up again.  I'm hoping that I will be able to get back outside on my bike while the weather is still warm.
