Laura J Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 I am W3 D1 and wow, my knees are barking.....I think it's because I am running around barefooted on our tile floors? I could tell today on my last day of week 2 running, I live in AZ & we are anticipating a heatwave this weekend...☀️ Laura J 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura J Posted June 15, 2016 Report Share Posted June 15, 2016 Hey, don't down play your success! There's not a runner out there judging you, when your out there your an equal....a runner doesn't matter what size we are! You could be sitting on the couch....then your NOT a runner, but a loser! Praise to you for getting off your butt and doing something good for yourself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
