I ran a 5K loop around my running buddy's neighborhood even though he wasn't available to run. It was a great run! Even without him here to pace me, I found it easier to manage than I expected. I didn't walk. It was all running, sometimes faster sometimes slower. I have goals.

How will you bring joy into your life today? Yesterday I couldn't find any good reason not to put on my swimsuit and spend a few hours in a pool with my children. So I did. And it was fun. I'm sharing a photo of me in my swimsuit with you. #juststrong
