I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

55 degrees out at 6 am!  I wore shorts and a t-shirt :)  My garmin died in my first mile so the time is off of my clock as I ran in and out of the door.  The run felt GREAT this morning.  I wasn't sure how I would feel this morning after more than 3 hours of raking yesterday.  6 of our trees don't drop their leaves until after the snow is here for good :(  We made a fire in our fire pit and roasted hot dogs and made s'mores.  It was really fun.

One whole week of green smoothies and no soda.  The only thing I have noticed is that I am up at 6am every morning.  I am going to bed earlier becasue I am SO tired in the afternoon and evening.  I did stay awake long enough to see the weather last night.  Oh, the ginger seems to help with the gas OR I am just getting used to it ;)

Spring is here!!! Love to run in shorts! I still have too much snow in some places of the yard to really be able to get any yard work done. Not that I'm sad about that LOL.

If you don't mind I'm going to hijack your post.... since you are so popular I thought I could get more traffic then on my blog. I have a baby in a contest. The link is below... vote for Ellie!!

Making smores around the firepit with the family is so fun. Thanks for letting me know you're getting over your flatulence problem. :)

From Metcalf Running on Tue, Mar 03, 2009 at 13:53:59 from 207.225.192.66

Thanks Marion... you rock!!

Marion,

NICE run after raking leaves for 3 hours yesterday. Wow, the green smoothie or something is giving you all that energy. I like your sleep schedule. I love ginger. I put ginger root slices in my spinach soup. I'm going to vote for Ellie now.

From Marion on Tue, Mar 03, 2009 at 16:10:54 from 71.213.122.61

I seem to be having boundless energy and none at all... all at the same time :) I am a walking paradox :D

From Michelle N. on Tue, Mar 03, 2009 at 18:11:47 from 75.162.244.89

Green smoothie huh? Sounds delicious. Great job on the no soda thing. I think I am the only woman in the USA that can't stand Diet Coke. For that I am grateful BUT when I do crave soda, it is the REAL DEAL, sugar loaded Mountain Dew. Although, I only have 2 or 3 a year. Good for you on kicking the habit though. That is tough.

From Maurine/Tarzan on Tue, Mar 03, 2009 at 23:08:40 from 97.117.61.26

Michelle - don't feel too bad - I can't stand any kind of colas. (Actually - I've only drunk soda 3x in a year)
