While everyone is stuck at home Team USA athletes and fans have found some creative ways to pass the time. There is plenty to get caught up on, so let’s get started!

It was announced today that the @USParalympics have been postponed exactly one year. That means one more year for my kids to watch their mom chase a dream. And I get another year of my favorite post ride and post run hugs. ♥️ 🇺🇸💪🏼 #trimom #Tokyo2021 #motivationmonday pic.twitter.com/AgUA94orje
