My Favorite Quote- "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

I have recently lost a lot of weight and running is very new to me (I started running about 2 years ago). I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.

My new weight goal is to have lost 100 pounds. I am quite sure I can get to about 93, but I am not sure about the 100. The weight tracker is tracking my total weight loss.

Total Distance

3.48

40:14:14, ave 11:34, best 7:09, Laps- 11:37, 11:32, 9:07

My goal is always to have each split be less than the previous, and MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

Today felt pretty normal. A little tightness in the calves and discomfort in the ankles, but nothing to stop me. I ran my usual route which was very nice and cool. I love the canyon breeze that comes down in the morning. I took my ipod and enjoyed Evanescence, The Scorpions and The Wicked Soundtrack. The Scorpions really helped with that last split- it's huge and in green in case you missed it ;)

I am going to go finish my yoga class as soon as I am done here. Tomorrow and Saturday are both 2.5ers and Friday is 10 miles. If anyone is up for a MEGA slow 10 miles (12-13 m/m) come join me! My sister-in-law will be in town and I am probably going to make her come with me :) She'll be so happy about it.

Have a great day everyone! Happy running!

Fished my Yoga class! Why do I EVER miss? YogaToday.com has a yoga for runners class in their archive. It was fantastic. My hips, quads and knees are feeling the LOVE now. Alright, every morning after my daily ritual, I am gonna DO YOGA! I know I have said it before, but WOW, it's just the best and I am a FOOL to skip it!

Your time ROCKS! Glad the calves are doing better. I would be down there in a heart beat for a nice 10 miler, but have to go to Fillmore for a family reunion. I am doing a 9 miler friday with the Running Chics. We will have to compare notes!! Have a great day!

I need to try the Yoga on line, I always seems to miss my class, it is nice that we can always fit running in before the world wakes up and starts calling!!!

Sasha- The 9:07 was 1/4 gentle down hill, 1/4 down hill and 1/2 TOTALLY flat (on the road) The last half was flat and it was hard. I was OK for .75 of it, but the last .25, I was ready to stop. I was in the "ok- just make it to that corner and it will be alright" zone. I was only doing the steam train breathing for the last 1/4, though.
