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

7.08

14.01 biking miles, best pace 2:58 (20.2 miles per hour)

I woke up at 4am and could not fall back asleep :( So, at 5:30, I went out for a ride :) I did the same ride as last night, only 2 bugs this time and a TON of bats under the freeway overpass.

I am off to girls camp. I hope you all have a great week.

Have fun at girl's camp! (I know that sounds like an oxymoron!) Good job on the bike! Just getting out to do something is the important part!

Nice ride. My bum just can't take it even though I have more than enough padding there. And the bats ate all your bugs....aren't bats the greatest. I think I am going to go build a bat box today :)

What is it with the sleeping lately? I love the bikeing in the middle of the night thing, sounds like something I'd do. Although, I'd like sleeping more than biking at 4:00 a.m. Good luck with all those funny, cute girls at camp!
