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.

HUGE improvement this morning :D  I am going to run after school today if I continue to feel better.  Have fun running this morning :)

*** I just got back.  The run felt OK.  I am glad I went.***

My calves were somewhat tight for the first .75 miles.

I am still really congested but No fever and NO cough ;)  The run was tiresome and long, but done.

I hope everyone has a GREAT day!  And, NO- the body they found down here was no where near where I run at all.  I have biked over there, though.

Hola amigos! Dang, the decongestant the doctor recommended is AWESOME!  I feel MUCH better.  The antibiotics will take a few days, but hey, a little better is WAY better than WORSE!!!  hahahahahhahahaha

The run was OK.  Lots of stopping to blow my nose :)  The splits weren't too bad considering how much we (Kim and I) walked.  Fortunatly is was garbage day so I could dispose of my toxic infectious tissues along the way.  Good times :D

Went out for 10, cut it to six, then stopped at 1.63 to call David and have him come get me.  Made it to 2 walking before he found us.  Kim is finishing the 8.  I am going back to bed.
