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.

I felt much better today. The legs were a little gumpy, but I felt my regular worn out tired self ;) BURRRRrrrrr! It was 42 degrees this morning and I was COLD! I am going to have to figure out how to keep warm!

The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is TOMORROW at Liberty Park in Salt Lake. Anyone is invited to come and walk or run with my team- TEAM NEVER SURRENDER!!!. The walk begins at 9, so arrive by about 8:30. Carpool if possible. It is a great cause and I'd love to have you there! Maurine is bringing Italian Chocolate ;) They have additional t-shirts for $6 and free t-shirts for survivors!

Yahoo!!!! Great nippy run this morning! I am looking forward to the Breast Cancer run tomorrow!!

Nice mileage. I can't imagine running in temperatures that cold. I think you should get bonus points. Good luck tomorrow!

Good for you! Enjoy your walk. It's about celebration of life after all, right? Cheers.

Ah man. It is going to be so cold!! What is with the weather? Last week we were all worried about the marathon because it had been so hot up here. Can we not have fall???

I gotta figure out a way to get there---my husband now needs our car (he can not fit all of the kids in the cop car and I can not drive it!) I am working on it!!!

I survived St. George. Does that count?

From montelepsy on Oct 11, 2008 at 05:22:22

Italian chocolate sounds good.

From montelepsy on Oct 11, 2008 at 05:23:13

...but, Tarzan should bring jungle chocolate to stay in character.
