Can you say MOLASSES!!!  I was going for a tempo run today.  Mile two is an all out push and NOTHING!!!  I guess my legs had other plans this morning.  They felt like lead.  Oh well.  I did try my new 6 mile route.  I am going to do it twice this week and 3 times next and so on until all of my days are six's.  FUN!!!

Ok- if you are faint or queezy, you may not want to read about my breakfast.  I am having a green smoothie.  Here are the ingredients:  beet greens, kale, celery, carrot, apple, orange, banana and lemon juice.  It is VERY UGLY but tastes great.  I am going to have one after every run from now on.  Oh and no more soda ( I mean it this time).  I am going to have a smoothie and NO soda for 2 months.

I am off to do laundry and clean the family room.

My run was the same this morning, just couldn't get in the zone. Your drink actually sounds good, I keep thinking I am going to juice more and the thought of cleaning the machine afterwards stops me in my tracks. I always feel so healthy when I drink one. Good Goal!!! Good luck on the no soda, that is a tough one, but you are one tough cookie, so you will DO IT!!!

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 11:19:20 from 71.219.54.89

I just put it all in the blender, peels and all :) I can't bring myself to juice- too much waste ;)

From Metcalf Running on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 12:30:39 from 207.225.192.66

Hmmm I don't know if I could stomach your smoothie... peels and all? You must have a good blender. Great run though... I need to committ to no soda also. I just have one diet soda about every other day or so... so I shoudl be able to right?

From rinny on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 12:32:03 from 206.251.46.150

way to go on the run, i felt like lead in my pants today too!

um...forgot what iw as going to say...oh yeah are you participating in Lent?

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 12:40:31 from 71.219.54.89

Corrine- Yes- I am going back to our Catholic roots ;) Funny, we actually have not one catholic in our pedigree. Actually John Henry Morrison was married to a Catholic woman before he married Julia Anna Wagner (well, we aren't sure they got married...at least for a while. DRAMA!!!) They couldn't because there are NO catholic divorces in 1880. Grace didn't die until about 1898ish. anyway- :)

Lori- the blender just makes it all smooth and creamy. It sure is UGLY!!!

From rinny on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 12:54:11 from 206.251.46.150

really we have no cathloics in our family? weird...interesting...i think i need to lent soda and chocolate ....hmmm cadbury eggs are here..blasted..maybe they would be good in that nasty looking shake :)

From rinny on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 12:55:18 from 206.251.46.150

ok so not related to running, but you know the scenic route we took to your house? well you have to check out the picture I took from the highway, I should have dragged my family's butts out of the car to throw them in the picture, but seriously check it out http://4kidsnodog.blogspot.com it turned out awesome!

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:07:59 from 71.219.54.89

Wow- that was gorgeous! You should have made them get in it! Dang!

YEs- seriously, there are no Catholics in our family tree. I think it is interesting too.

From azdesertmonsoon on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:08:57 from 204.17.31.126

Cadbury made me mad when they shrunk the size of the egg thinking we wouldn't notice.

From leslie on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:09:26 from 76.23.61.78

Okay, I checked out rinnys blog spot! So much fun!!!! Hey, I am going to give up beer for lent! hahaha! I think I am so funny! After checking out the blog I want to go to Hawaii!!!

From azdesertmonsoon on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:09:31 from 204.17.31.126

I am addicted to Wunderbars though and Cadbury makes those, you can only get them in Canada though.

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:11:35 from 71.219.54.89

I am not giving up chocolate EVER! I officially think it is a STUPID thing to give up. There is NOTHING wrong with a little bit of chocolate here and there! Soda supposedly can hinder O2 uptake in your muscles. I want to see if I notice a difference. 2 month should show me if there is any noticeable difference. If I am undecided after 2 months I'll go for another 2 months.

From The Howling Commando on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:13:20 from 72.224.24.41

I used to be addicted to Diet Coke but went cold turkey on Nov 23, 2006. I've never gone back. You feel so much better after the first weekor two of detox.

You're right. That sounds absolutely revolting!

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:13:58 from 71.219.54.89

AZ- Are those like the german Kinderbars? I love them. We have lots of import stores around here, I am going to have to try the Wunderbar :) Are they dark or light?

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:17:21 from 71.219.54.89

Benn- Really??? I don't have Diet Pepsi/coke all the time. Please tell me what wonderful things are going to happen :) Oh and about the smoothie- you really have to try it once. Just be sure to add enough fruit. Pineapple and spinach is a great combo :) Is is nasty looking, though. What are you reading these days?

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:18:06 from 71.219.54.89

Leslie- Beer DOES NOT COUNT! But if it does, I am going to quit smoking and gambling :)

From The Howling Commando on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:19:48 from 72.224.24.41

Okay I might have to try it, but I'll make sure Emmy tries it too. Muahaha that way if it stinks both of us will have to suffer through it.

Yeah good things are on the horizon ;). The first week is just a bit rough.

Currently I'm reading "Team of Rivals" by Doris Kearns Goodwin, as well as all my school theory books (gag!)

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:22:58 from 71.219.54.89

**Lent in 2009 will start on Wednesday, the 25th of February and will continue for 46 days until Saturday, the 11th of April.**

Ok- so I really had no idea that Lent started today :) I can handle green smoothies and no soda until April 11th.

*** I am in no way intentionally making fun of Lent. If my comments have been construed as mockery, I am sorry and will delete them. Just let me know :) ***

XOXOXOXOXOXOXO

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:24:40 from 71.219.54.89

Benn- I was going to suggest you and Emma try it together :) You are going to have a really fun time :) I can;t wait to hear all about it :)

From azdesertmonsoon on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:39:19 from 204.17.31.126

From seeaprilrun on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 13:53:57 from 205.172.12.230

I am cutting back on diet soda too--I am down to only two a week--I guess that's close enough I should just quit huh? :) One vice at a time... but NEVER WILL I GIVE UP CHOCOLATE EITHER! :) Your smoothie sounds disgusting--but I guess I can't knock something I haven't tried-LOL

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 14:26:05 from 71.219.54.89

AZ- they shrunk them? That is down right despicable! Those mini eggs are heaven! The big ones with all the goop inside are yucky! They are my husbands favorite :)

April- you are so speedy, I bet your two a week are not a problem for you.

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 14:29:39 from 71.219.54.89

Ok - now I have to find me a Wunderbar! I know some Canadians! Hmmmm....

From Smooth on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 16:18:14 from 71.36.64.119

Marion, sorry I skim thru most of the comments about Lent, Wunderbar. I just want to say: GOOD JOB today on the 6 miler. Glad you found a new route and commit to a new goal of 6 every day. I like your healthy green smoothie. There is nothing good in soda. Keep it up.

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 16:25:12 from 71.219.54.89

Thanks Smooth :) You are the BEST!!!

From tarzan on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 16:47:23 from 63.255.172.2

Ok - the smoothie sounds interesting - but do you really put in the pineapple skin and top? Yucko!

From Marion on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 17:19:55 from 71.219.54.89

No dear- I DO peel the pineapple :) Most everyone else just gets a good scrub and any yucky parts cut off :) I am going to try a bit of beet tomorrow :) I've never had a beet before.

From Mandy on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 19:39:51 from 206.251.43.221

Just an observation, but does this string of comments remind anyone else of a conversation with a 3 year old???? hahaha.

I would have to second the silliness of giving up chocolate. I did give it up for lent on a bet in middle school, and failed miserably. It was quite pathetic.

Congrats on the run-you did it even when you didn't feel like it. You MUST be a true runner!

From azdesertmonsoon on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 19:56:11 from 63.226.55.53

Here is a link to the Cadbury video.

From rinny on Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 21:28:28 from 206.251.46.150

didn't mean to bring up chocolate :)

one of my favortie drinks in brazil was beet carrot orange juice....yummy they would just throw the beets and carrots and peeled oranges into a blender it was tasty...better than it sounds...

i also like beets, carrots and potato salad...another brazilian thing...really good.

but beets do stain!

From Kelli on Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 01:17:26 from 151.118.168.163

DELICIOUS (I will trust you on that!)

From montelepsy on Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 02:04:05 from 155.85.58.253

Beets turn your pee pink, so don't freak out and run to the doctor thinking you have blood in your urine :)

From Marion on Thu, Feb 26, 2009 at 10:01:31 from 71.213.114.30

I've heard that beets do something to your pee, but I did not know what they did. Now I know and will be prepared :) Thanks for the heads up ;) Cool!

From azdesertmonsoon on Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 14:43:58 from 204.17.31.126

If you want to see something really cool, give your baby Grape Pedialite.
