Well this morning I laced up my old running shoes, like I said I would. I kinda jog/ran/walked/sprinted the 2.56 miles but I did it! Now, I have no problems walking for miles, miles and hours on end. I love to walk, check out different things around me and just enjoy 'getting away'. Running is totally different. Flashback to 30 years ago (yep, that long ago!) I … [Read more...] about Laced up the running shoes

It's a hassle and takes time to drive there....it's not as simple as walking out my door onto the … [Read more...] about Day 30 of 31 Days of Gratitude
