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

2.50

Had to work this morning, so I am late posting :)

Alright, I am back and feel fine! Great run this morning! Woo HOOO!!! My calves tried to whine, but I "relaxed" them, and they DID!

30:43 min, 12:17/mi total average, 7:25/mi best pace, Laps; 12:08 (.38mi), 11:59 (.43 mi), 10:47 (.45 mi), 9:19 (.6 mi), 11:18 401.6 feet ;)

Alright, so I am a little OCD with the lap button, but hey- I find the information very informative :)

The OCD is good for running!!! I need to post more stats, a great way to measure our improvement. Way to go on the weekend. BRAVO for us!!! That's pretty good when you had your mother-in-law over too! Double Bravo!!!

Thank you, thank you very much! I am glad to see my OCD is good for something ;) I am so glad we all had great weekends! I was down 5# from last monday. (BUT (and this is a BIG butt) last mon was HORRIBLE- I way over did the whole "I ran 10 miles, I must reward myself with food" thing)

From les on Jun 23, 2008 at 16:00:53

Oh do I UNDERSTAND!! The longer my run is the more I feel I deserve a reward, I am really trying to figure out the balance, it is tough, we do have to treat ourselves right after a big run, but I haven't figured out how to do it and not gain weight. Anyway, good for you, a good weekend and down 5!!!!! I am down 4 from Monday and HOLDING!! (so far)
