Short post. Exhausted. Walked ten miles in two days. Yesterday I went back to my night time routine, 3 miles aprox. in 1 hour. Today I walked four miles in the morning and did my night time routine again. I’m getting too old for this. On the one hand, [...]

This is a short post just to make you think. If you are not right in your head, the rest will follow. Obviously, the opposite is also true. As a woman, I have very different jobs in my life. I am a mother, a sister, daughter, wife, friend, employee, etc. [...]
