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

0.00

This is my LAST 0 miles day (except sunday) FOREVER and the rest of my life :) I saw the dead bat, so that means no more injuries for at least 20 years, right? (see yesterdays comments to understand the dead bad omen)

Good luck to you all in your races and long runs tomorrow! I am going to try 3 and see how it goes. The legs are great! :) Oh, and they feel good too ;D

Oh- I bought a bunch of shock bloc's and jelly beans. I am very excited to start long runs again in a few weeks (next month, actually)

Hope you all see a dead bat soon!

30 min yoga :D

Yay for no more zero miles days!!! I'll be posting the same in less than 8 weeks!!!

Glad to hear your legs feel good. No dead bats around here... do rats count??? Bats are sort-of rats with wings....

Rat's are a good omen, but they are a "you won't DIE of boredom cross training" omen. If you don't find a dead bat soon, I'll email you a picture of one. It's only 5 years injury free running, but hey, thats 5 years!

Way to go! 7 weeks and 5 days left? YEAH!!!!! :D

It's awesome that you have great legs that feel good too! Have fun tomorrow!
