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

7.24

I ran to Salem this morning on the highway. I was a bit of a chicken and waited for the rain to stop. It wasn't to bad of a run at all. Much better than last saturdays 10 miler on the Salem canal path. The cows were out at very pleasant :) A few dogs tried to eat me, but I told them to go home and they did. Hot 6 grain cereal for breakfast seems to not cause me any tummy trouble on my runs. Good to know!

Goooo Marion! Welcome to the blog! I'm sure you will do nothing but improve. Keep up the good work.

I was heartened to read about your crappy 10 miler. I had a crappy run yesterday--it's nice to know I am not alone. But we just keep plugging along! Keep up the great work!

This is SO great! I love to hear that others have bad days and still keep running. I have had people look at me like I am nuts for keeping going when things a just plain HARD! We runners must be a strange breed :)
