    Run Club

    I'm in a running club for LifeTime Fitness in Clive, and I heard the road that's being worked on is almost done. If that's the case, then I'll not be running up a hill every week. Very relieving for me.

    Barefoot hiking

    Saw someone else who's barefoot

    I was coming home from a celebration of life and there was someone who was barefoot. She was making and holding signs that had something to do with Christian stuff from what I could tell.

    Alyson Laskas

    I don't know if you heard, but Alyson Laskas, aka Barefoot Aly passed away a couple weeks ago. I just found out on the Society for Barefoot Living. It shocks me that she was so young and now she's gone. I hope that she's in a better place now.

She said that for April she would have people do...
