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

I miss running :( On the lighter side, I had absolutely no limp yesterday and no problems at all with going down the stairs :) I did more scraping last night with the tv remote. I kept turning on the tv by accident, which was irritating ;)

Good luck to all you racers this weekend! Go GO GO!!!! Have fun :D

Your doing good Marion. Keep doing what you've been doing and you'll be back to runsville real soon.

Thanks Tom! If everything stays pain free through the weekend, I will try a very slow, flat, jog on monday. Here's hoping :) Are you and Kim racing this weekend or are you guys saving it for the Speedy Spaniard next week?

From Tom on Jul 18, 2008 at 14:14:24

No races for us before Speedy Spaniard. We'll be doing 15-20 mile long runs tomorrow.
