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

Very FLAT route, very pokey pace. I intended to go very slowly this morning, but who knew I could "run" that slow? I did Chick a dude though? He was pretty old and I think he was picking up trash, so I'm not sure this counts :) I am off to work and I need a shower!!! I hope you all have a GREAT day.

Today I met a Kim Robinson, I said..."Hey, are you Kim R?" She said, "yes". I said, "Marion's Kim R.?" She said "no". So I thought I had met THE Kim R, but it was a different Kim R who now thinks I am stalking her or something....:)

I am so glad you are able to get out and enjoy a run! It doesn't matter how fast or slow, it's just great to be able to do it!

Kim- that probably totally freaked her out :) How funny :D "MY" kim is Kim Robison (no "n"). She is a nurse at uvrmc. She runs a bit with a woman named Tricia who lives in Spanish Fork. Tricia just got remarried and moved there a few weeks ago. She is a speedy racer.

I can run 16 min mile pace and still call it running. I think as long as you are airborne and your lifting your knees it is running. ...or at least wogging.

Thank you Sarah- I needed that :)

Just remember an easy run is essential to training, and many people get in trouble by not taking the easy days easy......slower than marathon pace I believe is a good rule of thumb for easy:) Glad to see you moving Marion!

Any pace is a good pace...especially when you're recovering.
