    @honunui rut roh the doggie has a name a sure sign she isn't going anywhere! You are a good person for helping her out. It makes me so sad to see dogs that obviously are lost or just not being cared for. Let us know if Lily stays.

    Coming into the final stretch folks - let's have a big finish to the month!

    @7lenny7 - that is so cool about your neighborhood camping trip each year. Even getting one run in on a trip like that is good. I think the memory of those trips is going to trump getting a couple runs in!

    @honunui - Oh my goodness! She has a name! It's nice that your other two dogs accepted her. I suspect you are right about the chip. You are so sweet to help her out.

    Strange about tickerfactory not working for so long. It's not like we can get our money back. :wink:

    Skip and I were looking at the dried fruit and the one I picked up at Wally World she said is gross that is why I was asking. I love pineapple I'll have to try the Publix and see what they have since we don't have a Wegman's. I can see my goal :smiley:


    Have you tried Sprouts on University in Huntsville where Academy is? They have a big section of bulk items.
    Earth Fare might have it too.

    33 minutes on Friday and 32 minutes yesterday brought me to 213.5/220 minutes. Yesterday I ran with no walk breaks which was exciting for me. I can't seem to push past a 15 minute mile without my leg starting to hurt but at least my heart rate is doing pretty well.

    Hello!

    This is my first time doing this and I'm just starting to get into running. Seeing everyone else's number is a bit daunting, so in comparison I'm starting very VERY low. We'll see how this goes though :)

    Not sure why, but I can't get my ticker to update. I'm up to 3 miles complete though :smiley:

    @ddmom0811 GOAL! Nice job girlfriend!
    @stoshew71 duh I didn't think to try Sprouts - I drive past it twice a day thanks.
    @toadhunter911 slow and steady wins the race!
