Shoutin’ from the Rooftop

I have missed working out. Missed Zumba. Missed going to the Y and using the elliptical or running. Missed feeling better and happier in my own skin. I think there is so much to having the mental strength to be able to take care of ourselves. When stress, grief, or so many other emotions crowd [...]

Thankfully I haven’t experienced any pain since my run yesterday. I had a twinge of discomfort last night but nothing like I was experiencing. Thank you for all of the suggestions & comments. I have been taking some Motrin to help with the inflammation.  On a different note, I am stuck in the house with [...]

I finished in first place in Muncie’s Tuesday Morning 5K~! I can’t believe it. I wasn’t even sure that I was going to run this morning let alone participate in a 5K. Never mind that I was the only participant and it wasn’t an official 5K race. Last night I was thinking of a million [...]
