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

7.40

The run this morning was BEAUTIFUL! Ford, my 7 year old, wanted to come today. He ran with us for the first half mile or so. He was freezing, as he would not believe me and wear a hoodie. Anyway, he did great. Two days in a row for Ford. Kim and I ran the rest alone. We went to Salem and back on the highway. It was really nice and felt easy and relaxed. I am going to finish my breakfast and then go for a bike ride. My boys want me to take them riding ALL DAY!!! I just tell them that mommy is pooped out! Hey- the scale is FINALLY moving down :D

Have a GREAT day! I am off to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike. I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike! NOT!!! ;D

Running- 5.15 miles, 1:03:28, ave 12:19, best 8:45, Laps- 11:13, 11:50, 11:37, 12:24, 12:46

Biking- 27 minutes converts to 2.25 running miles- biking on my mountain bike with the boys in the trailer is HARD! Ford wanted to go today and I just had to tell him NO WAY! Ride your own bike! :) I love that my being active is causeing my boys to want to run and ride their bikes more. Even some of my neighbors are getting out more. I am starting an activity revolution in Payson!!

Yoga 60 minutes- This was a Kundalini class where we focused on the third chakra. The entire class was made up of several kriyas that brought flexibility & fire to the third chakra. "A well-developed third chakra empowers us to live our best lives, reduce inertia and take action toward our goals. It is our storage battery for personal strength." Now before you think I am a total WACK job, just know that Kundalini is NOT my favorite type of yoga at all. I do the classes that I don't like, in order to create a balance in my practice. Also, I have found that I learn the most from doing things that I don't like or do well.

** Right now, before ALL the 22 milers post, I am on the third page of the mileage board! Holy cow!! I am all impressed with myself for a moment. I know this will all diapear when everyone posts today, but for now, I am pretty excited! :D Is there someone I should call?

Great day---and you do sound crazy quoting all of that Yoga stuff! Kidding. Yoga is awesome.

Hope the baby lets you sleep. At least it is cold enough outside that you can take him out to relieve the cough some!
