    Nice runs @sweetdaisy13 and @WhatMeRunning !

    Good luck with your CoVID shot @sweetdaisy13 . I have now had both and the day I got them. I just had a sore arm. Mom did get a little bit of CoVID arm last night, 4 days later, but it was better today.

    Thank you @quilteryoyo. Going to see how I feel afterwards, but will be sensible.

    @emptydog Glad you enjoyed your run in the ran.

    @rheddmobile Yeah for getting to run at Shelby Farms again, even if the crowds weren't very polite. You'll get your hill legs back soon. I would love to see all of those horses together!

    @katharmonic Glad the music and cry were therapeutic. I'm glad it looks like there won't be rain for your HM. You will do great.

    @AlphaHowls I hear ya. I can't believe it's the middle of April already.

    @ContraryMaryMary You are going to kill your PB's on the 10K. I just feel it! Congratulations on entering your first marathon! You can do it. You are so consistent with your training. Enjoy your holiday and hope the break helps you all hear from the virus.

    Thanks @WhatMeRunning ! I appreciate that.

    Hope you are feeling better tomorrow @pfeiferlindsey ! Mom got a little bit of "CoVID arm" last night with hers, but so far, I'm ok. Knock on wood.

    @kgirlhart Happy Birthday, tomorrow. Glad you were able to run today after resting your feet. Hope the new shoes did the trick.

    @katharmonic Good luck on your HM tomorrow! Looking forward to hearing how it went.

    Sounds like a nice day @martaindale !

    Thanks @Teresa502 ! I really need to start checking out the local races. I could have totally made it to Limestone today. Glad the side affects from your vaccine only lasted a day. Nice hiking...25 pounds in a back pack would make it so much harder. Love the pictures.

    I had a lot of things I needed to get done today and I was feeling pretty exhausted, so did a mile to keep the streak alive. I did see another cute little calf laying by the driveway. It was in the owners field. When I stopped to take a picture, I scared it and it ran off before I could snap one.
