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.

I want to take this WHOLE week off! Saturday KICKED my BUTT! I stopped to stretch probably 50 times. I am surprised I ever made it home :) All of my runner friends tell me that every runner has bad runs, and we all survive! OK. I am just gonna have to go on faith!

Easy peasy walk with David. He is still healing from a pulled calf muscle and I needed a few more miles and this was perfect. It's nice to walk once in a while. I remember the days, not too long ago when this loop was really hard for me to even walk. Ah, sweet progress.

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!
