Personal:

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.

How does that song go? "One bad apple, don't spoil the whole week of runs?"

It's monday, what more needs to be said! I got really sick in the middle :( I am guessing my body wasn't very happy to be running at 5:30 am. What a WIMP!!! Kim was VERY brave and non-wimpy.

You got out and did it! Mondays are tough, so draggng yourself out of bed and doing it is a great start to the week. I am hiking this morning, so it is an easy way to break myself in for the week. I liked your goals! I made some too, I hoping I can make my milage, we are heading for Huntsville on Thur. and I may not make it. Don't forget to be cute and friendly!!! That was my favorite!!!!!

Cute and friendly may be out today! But... I'll have to swing it- I am on my way to work! They pay me for cute and friendly ;)

When you say work, do you mean WW? Or do you do something else as well?

From Kim on Jun 30, 2008 at 16:53:56

Ya Marion, you better be careful when you say you get paid to be cute and friendly! :)

From marion on Jun 30, 2008 at 17:23:19

Leslie- Yes, I mean WW- aside from being the primary slave to my darling children, ww is my only job. (the kids don't pay enough for the "cute" part)

Kim- true, I definately could get in trouble with that comment ;) I guess I should put an *** in. Although, I think Gina might get a good laugh at it. It's funny on SO many levels!
