Feet and knees messed up with RA wouldn't appreciate it much. But I did feel much better, more energetic, and all together when I swam laps for half an hour at the only local pool at least 4 mornings a week after dropping my daughter off at school. Then I had surgery on my hand. By the time I was cleared to go in the water (about 2 months), the filter at the pool had broken. By the time it was fixed (2 more months), my work schedule took me away from home for several weeks. I am looking forward to getting back into the routine again next week. Hand is reasonably OK, filter is fixed, and travel schedule will let me stay home for a while. It will be really good to get back to taking care of that aspect of my health ... and emotional well-being.Julie Merrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16535352710739104399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243072173285925221.post-24656952541988048272012-10-25T13:52:38.862-05:002012-10-25T13:52:38.862-05:00Awesome Shannon!

But then got bronchitis and taking a week off, hope to be back at it next week, thanks for inspiring and encouraging :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00034786296229731849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2243072173285925221.post-87784794939922761182012-10-25T13:17:32.041-05:002012-10-25T13:17:32.041-05:00Running is my thinking time.

It clears my mind, gives me more energy, and I even find myself more patient and more of a fun mommy!<br /><br />I try to consider working out not something I have to do, but a way to be 'kind to my body.' and my body does seem to appreciate it! (later, anyways!)<br /><br />Keep running!Emily Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12014196267197823268noreply@blogger.com
