Success! Des Linden Goes the Distance and Sets the 50K World Record In her first race longer than a marathon, she averaged 5:47 pace for more than 31 miles.

More parkland!

Yesterday, Council unanimously passed Item 43 to acquire new parkland along Bull Creek! This land will add a new trail head, amenities, a signature park, and a scenic overlook. I'm excited to expand the Bull Creek Greenbelt and protect this environmentally sensitive area. See the map below for details on the expansion.

There are days where I'm feeling super productive and hitting it on all cylinders. Then, I have those days where I'm processing that we're still in the middle of a pandemic and the woman I used to be. I'm still her, but evolving.

I'm learning how to give myself grace in this season while growing and grieving. Everything that is happening TO me is also happening FOR me. For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you hope and a future.

Give yourself some grace today. Continue to learn and grow. Listen to your body and put your mind at ease. Remember, this is just one chapter in your book of life. Keep turning the page. It will get better. Sending love, light and cyberhugs your way.

Happy Fri-yay all. Live and Be Well.
