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

0.00

I have been trying not to think about running, so I have stayed busy renovating my kitchen. It was really more of a "super clean" with some new drawer pulls (pewter frogs and dragonflys) and some long needed trims added to a cupboard.

As for the calf- no pain at all since monday. I am good to go for a slow run tomorrow. Slow and SLOWER is the perscription for the week. I am just hoping and praying that running works.

Wish me luck and ALL THE LUCK IN THE WORLD BACK TO YOU!!! :D

Our house is a little gingerbread house built in the 1930's by David's grandparents, so we get to be a bit Mary Englebreit and whimsical because it's so cute and small. We love it :D
