I reluctantly joined Strava a little over a year ago (after not having ridden too much the past 10 years.)  Shortly after I joined , my Dad passed away and some days it felt hard to exercise and definitely didn't feel I could push myself.......so I set a goal that every ride for the next year I would go as hard as I could on at least one segment.
      It has been a beautiful journey of processing the grief while riding easy and releasing all the pain when riding hard.  
     Today is the anniversary of his death and I am proud that I never gave up on myself or my efforts.  
      My Mom and I saw several butterflies the day after my Dad's death and today I saw a beautiful one at the beach and another on my bike ride.  It reminds me of how he is now flying free from all of his pain he suffered from the agent orange from the war.  RIP dad.........fly free.
