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.

Slow day.  Bad head ache day.  If I wasn't 100% sure I was not pregnant, I would swear I was pregnant.  The last three weeks have been a nightmare for my brain.  I thought I might DIE in the middle of a presentation this morning.  Oh well.  I haven't done any of the stuff listed below, but I am off to do the yoga, and then the running and biking as soon as the girls get home from school.

Running 3.6 miles, ave 11:39, 42:08 minutes.  First half :p, the second half was GREAT!!!  I am off to ride!!!

Biking   57 minutes = 4.75 running miles
