I read your comment on my blog and thought ' I don't know a thing about what's going on with you ' and that made me a little sad. Anyway, great race recap and great finish pictures ! You are amazing to me in every way and I hope that your PF calms down and you can get back out there and do what you love. I never take it for granted. I feel grateful for it every day -as you read. My day off is today and we are off to visit hubby's parents. They have been a little concerned about us and telephone calls aren't doing the trick anymore. I hope all is well with you and your family. Hugs to you, my friend. ❤️Bitchinrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08291128827427661285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-62524006137126254532016-03-19T06:31:25.708-05:002016-03-19T06:31:25.708-05:00I think if we lived where it was always warm, the ...I think if we lived where it was always warm, the heat would be less soul-crushing!
