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.

Kim and I ran along the canal through Salem.  It was really beautiful.  The road had been grated and was really rough through some spots, but was OK for the most part.  We saw baby ducks with their Mama.  Pretty cool.  The last three miles were HORRIBLE.  Kim hit the runners high and I hit the wall!  That whole day I just felt as if someone had beat me up.  Sunday I had a migrane and still felt beat.

Pretty run.  Next week I think we will go toward Santaquin.
