I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

These allergies are KILLING me... I guess.  I am POOPED.  My first mile was UPHILL and my second mile was downhill.  Check out the splits and go figure.  I felt like I was running through a swamp.  My right tensor fasciae latae (how is that for a BIG word?) is bugging me.  That is the muscle thingy that holds the IT band to the hip.   I have got a bunch of stretches to help it.  I think my piriformis is at work again trying to thwart my running efforts.  That stupid muscle is a big pain in the BUTT!! hahahahahhahaha :)  Oh well!  More stretching and more stretching :)  I am down 5 lbs from when I started the blog so that is good news!  Now just 20 more and I can be Kerri Walsh for Halloween :)  I am talking my sister-in-law, Mandy, into being Misty May.  While I am no where near as tall as Kerri, Mandy is 5 inches shorter than I am so we can have the right height ratio.  We can be May and Walsh- the post children years! :D

Have a wonderful safe day!!!

Sounds like we could get together for a good 'wog' (walk-jog) and comsiserate about our achy-breaky eveything! Thanks for the info on the sports doc and for blogging your progress. Congrats on the 5lbs! Let's just keep on keeping on shall we? Thanks again for the encouragement....

5 pounds gone---that is awesome! WOW.

Hey, just keep running at whatever pace is working for you! You listen to your body, so your body will last!

And those were big words---my head hurt reading them.

Down 5 pounds -- that's pretty incredible!!! It's gotta make you feel good.

Consistancy is the key, you're doing great making sure you're getting out there everyday.

Patience grasshopper. With wisdom and endurance you will reach your goal.

Thanks guys! Hey Maruine, you sound like a fortune cookie... they are my FAVORITE cookie :)

-20 more lbs to be a dead ringer for Kerri Walsh! (oh...and +4 more inches :) Oh and maybe some plastic surjury on my tummy ;D After six babies, it ain't pretty sister!

I was supposed to sound like the master from Kung Fu. You must be too young to remember that!

From marion on Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 11:17:50

I know Kung Fu- We watched it every day. I remember as a kid wondering why they had a white guy as an asian dude. DAvid Kerodine(sp?) was SO not asian!!! I loved that show!!

Congratulations! I love reading your blog. You are amazing and an inspiration to all of us who hope that we can dress up like Kerri Walsh for Halloween this year instead of Manny Yarbrough. Love your blog!
