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.

Glad to hear your calf is feeling better! You've done a lot of biking this week--that's awesome! Are you walking funny yet? :)

There were lots of cows and big trucks on the road today! You would have loved it. . .HeHeHe

Glad to hear you are recovering and found a way to get some exercise. I bought a bike myself this week and am slowly breaking in my butt.
