Instead I ended up running a marathon in 2017.<br /><br />I also had an intention of reading more than I did.

I have embraced it for shorter workouts and hill repeats and when it's sizzling HOT here.<br /><br />My biggest intention of 2017 was to read a book called A Year of Daily Offerings. I missed many days when we traveled to the US (because I didn't take the book), but for the most part I took the time to not only read the daily passage but also a couple of supplements I found. And, I'm starting over in 2018!AmyChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07037851599714423746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-63614963730036879202018-01-05T16:23:38.090-05:002018-01-05T16:23:38.090-05:00Oh... your book club makes me LOL!

My sister and I created a book club with our friends... most of the time we read the book, but when we got together to talk about it all we did was chat about everything other than the book. It was a lot of fun though.

Especially male dogs, or so it seems (she could care less if they try to hump her, although whenever someone tries it, they are told to stop -- never happens very often).<br /><br />It was a long road, but in the end, it was good for her. But knock on wood, she has no health problems right now. <br /><br />And yes, it's also definitely harder doing things with two dogs vs a single dog (for instance, she's so small we can always just carry her somewhere, like a store -- much harder to do with both of them).Judy @ Chocolaterunsjudyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14096124660145481881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4930457134828005115.post-87312992253069975522018-01-05T13:29:01.236-05:002018-01-05T13:29:01.236-05:00What a great post!
