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.

Cut back week! THANK HEAVENS!!!

This has been the most wonderful weekend. I really needed it!

Now this is the exact week and mileage that I got injured last time. I am feeling very confident that everything will be ok this time. I have been taking my easy days, a lot easier. I have been running flat routes at least half of my miles. My legs have been very tired from all of the added biking. My shoulders and neck have been sore from all of the plank, four limb staff, and arm balances. I would really like a massage, but no luck. I am still struggling with my hip flexors and my ITB. I have found some stretches that seem to be helping. The rolling pin and my TV remote also make great tools.

I hope that everyone has a great week and a wonderful recovery week for all you SGM runners :) You inspire me!

Enjoy your week Marion! Keep stretching and those ITB problems will go away, I swear - if you need more stretches for that let me know, but sounds like you get plenty of great advice already.

Yes- I would love more IT band stretches. My problems are in my hip right where it connects to the hip bone. It's really hard to get to.

Les and Maurine- I am SO excited to see ya'll saturday!!
