Like surprise picnic lunches, we may even just make it a picnic lunch in our house in a different room, and my girls are so happy it's as if I've taken them to Disneyland. <br /><br />My Sister's Keeper is one of my favorite books. I have given out so many copies of that book as gifts to family and friends; I always tell them it isn't easy to read, but definitely one to read in a lifetime.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14469312477524652967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670299088597355474.post-58140785864978131182011-08-15T13:14:08.278-06:002011-08-15T13:14:08.278-06:00This was wonderful Jen!

I developed plantar fasciitis after last October's half-marathon and avoided running to avoid the excruciating pain the following morning. Honestly, I think I'm (well?) past the point where it's going to be that bad. I kinda needed this post to remind me what I'm missing all these mornings I think, "Mmm, maybe tomorrow?" and start blog-hopping instead. Thanks for the reminder of what I love about those runs, and how they lift me up through the rest of the day!Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06036505968642985025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3670299088597355474.post-12883444144136286292011-08-15T10:01:50.194-06:002011-08-15T10:01:50.194-06:00Yeay, Jen is one of my faves!
