But first the small changes, like actually washing up and cleaning my house....
Let us know how the run goes, Daisy.

I enjoy running, too. I ran a few 5Ks and an 8K a couple years ago. I run 3-5 days per week now, and don't do races anymore. But they can be fun. I use running as a meditative, routine type of engaging exercise. It's become sort of a go-to comfort for me now.

Cleaning house never seems to become very meditative for me, lol. I'm still waiting for the day...
