You are lucky to have so many! This week I am grateful for the first week of school break and getting to spend almost everyday with Jenna and Amara! A trip to Target can be a lot of fun with the right people.

My hub and I are big fans of the clearance rack at the plant section - we rescue plants, not pets. With a little love and care they become their beautiful selves, as God intended. Yay for our relationships with our adult children. Good luck with your training.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-83959893969219637702016-06-21T14:29:34.309-06:002016-06-21T14:29:34.309-06:00I've heard of other people who also had to sto...I've heard of other people who also had to stop running because of plantar fasciitis.

And of you and your folks, too! <br />Glad the snake wasn't poisonous - that would've scared me silly. <br />I suffered from a round of plantar fasciitis years ago when I was running. It was awful so I am very glad to know that you're able to work through it and train for your next run. I ditched running as a result of it - just wasn't worth the pain - and switched to walking and it's never returned. (knock wood, I guess) Looking forward to hearing about your running success!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-69759169125960558022016-06-21T11:25:44.165-06:002016-06-21T11:25:44.165-06:00I generally prefer cooler temps to warmer ones, bu...I generally prefer cooler temps to warmer ones, but one thing about getting older is that the time seems to pass more quickly, so hot summers seem shorter than they used to! :-)Kristihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14136276061114462192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-40544083698824242632016-06-21T11:22:14.554-06:002016-06-21T11:22:14.554-06:00Well, there's hot and then there's HOT!

That sentence just boggles my mind. I'm thinking legit is way lower than 105! :)<br />While I'm not generally afraid of snakes (we don't have many venomous ones around here), if I saw that sucker in my house, I would have flipped my lid!<br />I'm glad you have been able to get back to running again. I pray your feet continue to work with you instead of against you.<br />I got several plants off the dead and dying rack last year. They are doing marvelously in my flower beds this year! Best way to do it, I say. Well, except for free from friends. Donna's plants were the big score last year. :)<br />Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17209807996463889703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6085311167627297994.post-46625058661373660272016-06-19T19:30:38.673-06:002016-06-19T19:30:38.673-06:00you're right...

I'll stick with the local fauna here in New England.<br />We do have snakes (saw one in the grass just the other day (yeah, life imitates art) but it was small and, fortunately I have no feelings (negative or positive) for snakes.<br /><br />hey.... I had a dream once, where for reasons lost in the waking from the dream, I ran faster by making my steps bigger... (hey, it was a dream)... maybe if you went for longer strides, you'd have less impacts to endure.<br /><br />no, I didn't think so.... lolClark Farleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03606902779389446947noreply@blogger.com
