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 slept in today! I am in shock! I must have been really pooped from Girls camp. I NEVER sleep late, so I went with it :) I am cleaning out all of my cupboard and pantry and hall closets today. We are all having major allergy attacks because of all of the dust hiding everywhere! Thank heavens for Zyrtec!

I wanted to ride again, yesterday and today, but my palms are still quite tender. The riding causes pretty good pain in my hands, and I am guessing because of the swelling there, my last two fingers stay numb for most of the day afterwards. I can't even do much yoga. I need to go to the bike shop and find a remedy. I wonder if my handle bars are too low?

I have had no pain in my calf since monday, and am hoping to be running again this next monday. Any pointers? The plan is slow and slower ;D

Glad to hear the calf is doing better. I think your plan to try a very slow run on Monday if good. Just make sure if the calf or anywhere else starts feeling painful or not quite right to cut the run short. Good luck!

Thanks Tom. I'll be sure to pull the plug if anything is off :( ... but my fingers are crossed for really good luck.

Hey, we miss you on the blog!!! I hope you had a nice Sat. running or not!!

Thanks Les- I have been madly remodeling my kitchen and trying not to think about not running :( I am going to try a run in the morning and hopefully it will go well. Wish me luck. How's Paul doing?

I like the beans a lot better than the gel. The beans are a little chewy but not too bad. They have different flavors and not like the gel, you do not have to drink water after taking them. I think you should give them a try and i think you will like them a lot.

Thanks Barry- I will have my hubby pick me up some at runners corner in the morning. I have been using jolly ranchers, but they aren't going to be enough, I fear, and I want to try them on a few runs before Hobble Creek. Thanks so much for the help!
