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

Yeah! New week, leg is AWESOME!!! My hubby is watching me like a hawk, so I don't go running somewhere. He is normally very relaxed and not overly involved, but he can see the spark of excitement in my eye and vividly remembers all of the bawling after each relapse. He's a sweetie pie, but mainly he HATES it when I am crying. I am WAY more fun when I am not hysterical grieving the loss of running. How's that for dramatic :D

Have a GREAT week and according to the doc, I should be able to run Wednesday... hopefully...fingers crossed!!!

Run you crazy running people, run like the wind- and run an extra mile for me!!!

Oh, I tried to post the fire pictures here, but to no avail. They are on my meltingmarion.blogspot.com blog though. They were taken less than a mile from my home.

I do not think I will run that extra mile for you, but good luck Wednesday. It is nice to read your excitement and compare it to my dread!!!

Have a GREAT week!!
