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

5.00

Yeah! My legs are healed! Ya'll said they would, and ***presto*** they did!

I got up at 6 for Yoga. I LOVE yoga, incase I haddn't mentioned that today.

Great run today! Kim R. and I ran up Payson Canyon. WOW is was so nice and beautiful. Michelle, you were right- we were alone most of the time.

We walked about the first mile and and a half. (It's about 1.6 miles to the mouthof the canyon from my house) My calves are still very tight. We stretched and that didn't seem to help much. More walking helped a TON!

Once we began to run, we ran uphill at 12:28, then headed down for 11:27 & 11:15. I hit the lap button several times during the run to give myself a general idea of my uphill pace and down hill pace and flat paces. Average over all pace for 5 miles with about 2 miles of walking 14:12.

Easy slow run with plenty of trips onto lawns for s sprinkle or two :) Thanks to all those who water in the late morning!

Did I run up Payson Canyon with you today? If I did, it was really easy...I don't remember a thing about it! OK, so I guess I'm not the only Kim in your life! Great job to you...I will be doing that canyon here soon too. Maybe we really will run it together sometime.

Yes, it was you! Don't you remember? We were so fast it hardly registered. Ok, it wasn't you, it was Kim R. I have so many friends named Kim that my kids call them all, Kim R or Kim E etc.

Yes- we have to run it together. I'm slow, but boy am I entertaining- no crime experience though :( wait, or is that a :)

Glad your legs are healed! It makes you feel so good to know you can bounce back so well. Tough chic! And a canyon run!
