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

3.54

Great run today! The temp was PERFECT, the breeze was most excellent and I am so glad! Short and sweet- I have got to get to work. I love being able to say, "yeah, I ran (whatever it was) today." (especially the really long runs) I guess I have been hanging out with little kids so much that I really need the kudos from grown-ups :)

Way to go again Marion! I know exactly what you mean about the adult kudos! That is one reason the blog is so fun! Have fun at work! The people you serve are lucky to have you!

Thanks! They are lucky to have you too! Did you know that leslie is a WW too. She got her by my link to your running blog on Meltingmarion. We are pretty cool running fools! Have a great day!

Good Job Marion! Sounds like you had a great run! I am anxious to see what you do tomorrow. I am doing my long run with my running group tomorrow because they are all doing Heart of Holladay.

Hi Kim!!!

Hey Leslie! Have a great long run! I am going to be short and sweet again tomorrow! It sounds like all of the cool people will be at Heart of Holladay this weeked :) But in Provo we are getting pancakes! How cool is that?

From Maurine on Jun 11, 2008 at 20:26:05

No - all the cool people are not running Heart of Holladay. One of the coolest ones is stuck throwing a bridal shower for her niece.
