Starting Shockwave Therapy For My Achilles

Posted on September 5, 2021 by Coco

Argumentative August Runfessions

Posted on August 27, 2021 by Coco

It’s the last Friday of the month and nearly the unofficial end of summer–the perfect time to gather at Marcia’s runfessional and cleanse our souls soles before we head into fall. I’ve been arguing  with myself a lot lately, so maybe sharing my argumentative August runfessions will help me get over it.

Why do I feel like she’s running more than I am?

Also join me in the Fit Five Friday Link-Up with Darlene, Michelle, Renée, Jenn, and Zenaida.

Deborah and I will be hosting the September Ultimate Coffee Date next weekend. We’ll open the (link-up) doors Friday September 3rd, and keep the coffee brewing.
