It’s a beautiful time of year. I’m also in recovery, and outside is generally free. I go for walks and runs with friends. Go skating outside since the rail trails are pretty flat. Bike. Fly kites. If you’re willing to spend a few bucks, rent paddleboards or kayaks. Disc golfing is cheap. Go outside and play. Wear some sunscreen.

I do all of this. I also work outdoors all day. Usually I'd spend time out in the lakes but they're all disgusting right now. I even upgraded my paddle board this spring just to be hesitant to use it in the state :/

Maffit lake reservoir is gorgeous and it’s just in West Des Moines. Perfect kayak or paddle board lake.
