I agree it has been so nice to meet so many people around the world through blogging -- like yourself!<br /><br />I don't run any longer as I tore all the meniscus-es in my knees, but I do power walk about 3 miles every day and love it!Pat @ Mille Fiori Favoritihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08922525910685129822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7356093701102910263.post-80601734729453382502011-09-21T05:36:47.992+02:002011-09-21T05:36:47.992+02:00Congratulations on the posts AND the kilometers!

I keep cutting them back and putting the cuttings in water to root (first photo on the left) and then repotting them. I have them all through the house and have given them as gifts to all my neighbors. I think they like being sung to as well by our iPod. I tell them daily how lovely they are.

Well said.
I've been riding a month - ...Amen. Well said.<br /><br />I've been riding a month - every day. At first, I'd come back from a ride and my legs would feel like paste. Now I ride and I enjoy 'the burn' - but it's taking me longer and longer to find it. Which is good - it means I'm getting stronger and I have more endurance. At age 66, things like that start to become important.<br /><br />I'm glad running has become so much a part of your life. I understand how that happens - how it feels - and I'm glad you found it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13024392628362568010noreply@blogger.com
