Sadly, since my plantar fasciitis, even my walking has stopped. As it happens, I think I'm going to have to book in for another steroid injection, as the last one feels like it has ceased!

It's great to have goals. <br /><br />I started running before I became pregnant with the twins and lost about 40lbs in the process. I stopped when I became pregnant (doctor's orders) and I'm DYING to get back into it, but it's just so hard finding time or the energy. I guess I'll just have to make the time.
