But the WW, while a labor of love, was very time consuming plus we had to get that linkup open on Sundays. That often conflicted with family time and also Sunday activities.

You two have been so busy! I do hope we can keep in touch in the blogosphere! Love your review of the Mizuno's. I have never tried them before but always love a good shoe review.

Even though Wednesday Word didn't have the following that this linkup had, it often kept me from writing because I was reading. I've loved getting to know so many other like-minded bloggers through Weekly Wrap, and thank you so much for introducing them to me! I'll check out the RIOT linkup - thanks for the suggestion.

You've encouraged and supported me in so many ways - through your motivational comments on my blog and your honest and inspirational blog posts. You brought so many women together in such a supportive environment. I will miss this link-up so much. But I also understand that it is a lot of work and your decision wasn't taken lightly. I'm comforted to know though that you will still be blogging so we will still be in touch.

It's got to be pretty tough to do what you want when your body does not want to co-operate. I can't imagine the struggle you must go through during these fare-ups.<br />Too bad about the Weekly Wrap, I like reading the different posts. I kept thinking that one of these days I may join in but just never had the courage...Hope you are feeling better and have a better week.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976169118251595581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-83279837738912816042019-02-25T09:56:43.356-06:002019-02-25T09:56:43.356-06:00So frustrating about the RA flare.

You did a great job coming through it, and I hope you will be on an upswing soon.<br /><br />Our temperatures were record highs this weekend, and then I went out this morning into low 50s with little to no humidity. Again, nothing like what you have, but I was incredibly underdressed for the run and my Raynaud's kicked in pretty viciously. Ugh.<br /><br />Thanks so much for joining up with us!
