It's not much, but with my 16 minute stretch/yoga work each morning, at least I'm moving. I can't wait to go outside again. And, come June, maybe put on those running shoes once more. Like you, no goals, distance or pace. Whatever my senior citizen body can manage will be better than sitting on the couch. Those days are gone!Connie Ciampanelli - RIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199554842449972940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-25265643528296400712018-01-02T09:56:58.162-06:002018-01-02T09:56:58.162-06:00Here's to the Queen of Badassery! 2018 is goin...Here's to the Queen of Badassery! 2018 is going to be a good, no, a GREAT year for you.<br />I can't wait to see your story continue.

I really cannot deal with running in super cold weather! it's funny because it's never really THAT cold here in NL and I remember CLEARLY what my winter experiences were when I was growing up in Illinois... I am just DONE with snow and cold!! <br /><br />I have two races in the planning for 2018 - I'm just kind of waiting to see how things go and will likely do some local races here and there. I would really like to get my weight down to improve my running so I need to focus on that and training! runlaugheatpiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09233445490233555647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-57009463303767301882018-01-01T22:52:05.060-06:002018-01-01T22:52:05.060-06:00I always love reading your posts and I love the go...I always love reading your posts and I love the goals you have set for yourself for 2018!
