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.

Monday monday! I cannot get over how beautiful sunrise is! I am sitting at my desk looking out my window and the sun coming through the sprinkers. All the the flowers, roses, black eyed susans, holy hocks and hastas, look so beautiful and sparklie in the sunlight! Even the weeds look pretty this morning! Although they are all going to DIE tonight when we pick them and throw them away! (evil laugh) I am going to miss summer! sigh!!!

Monday means off to Provo to teach a class. I'll be back after lunch to see how everyone is feeling after all the excitement this weekend!!!

Have a GREAT day and just ignore HOW STINKIN SLOW I AM RUNNING THESE DAYS!! :D

Hey, its monday, slow is okay! You are better than me, I slept in, Harold came in to kiss me goodbye and said the chicks just ran by, I feel so lazy. So I am impressed with you, you got up and got 4+ nice miles in. Hope your teaching goes well!

Good job, Marion! How are the legs feeling?

From marion on Aug 25, 2008 at 20:17:40

Thanks Maurine- the legs are good. My IT band is causing some greif, but I am working it through with the end of my tv remote and it is starting to get over its whiny-ness! :D

HAVE THE BEST TRIP ever!!!!!
