Lol. But I only walked 4.3 miles yesterday as it was much colder than I had anticipated outside. Today I woke up with an earache and a sore throat for my troubles. :-( |

Congratulations to Marjorie's grandson! That is a great accomplishment. Diana, Keep up the good work! Wish I could walk that far. Hope you feel better soon. |
