Why the dearth of playlists
Perhaps you have noticed a lack of playlists being posted. This means a lack of exercise has been taking place.
There is a reason.
Plantar fasciitis.
Some days it is better. Some days it is really bad.
I miss the exercise and plan today to do something about that. It may mean small walks. It may mean more stretching. But look for playlists to resume shortly.
In the meantime, check out this shirt that I will be wearing.
