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 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 ;)

Total Distance
2.00

1/4 mile walk warm up. 1.5 mile run (11:45 ave). 1/4 mile walk cool down. all treadmill. 10 min yoga.  

no physical problems.  My fingers are crossed :)   I had a few flashes of getting hit while running.  The flashes are getting better, less frequent.  It still brings me to tears, but that is getting better too.  It was scary as all get out to run through that intersection on monday, but in both directions, drivers stopped and waved me through.  I suppose I just need to keep at it and it will get better.  I haven't cried for a long time when I am driving, so that must be a good sign :)

Marion!!! Whoa....you got hit by a car!!! Thank goodness you are mostly okay!!!! I saw your husband at petsmart yesterday and almost said hello and asked how you are (since I don't blog too much with a newborn). He was busy looking at some problem with the fish tanks and I got shy. You cry as much as you want and if you ever need a shoulder...I'm pretty sympathetic.

You are a champion of epic proportions. Keep it up girl!! Glad the emotional side is recovering as well, I think we underestimate how much damage there can really get us down.

Sarah- Yep, I was hit by a car Oct 6th while I was running. It was very scary, but I am healing well and the doc thinks I can be well enough for a marathon next year :) I am VERY blessed to not have been hurt too badly. Healing is just slow, and not like usual running healing is. Back and neck injuries just take time to heal and are a bit temperamental :p How is the new baby??

Rachel- You are so sweet! :) How are you feeling?

I am sure it will take a long time to completely get over that. I am glad you are starting to run again. Maybe you need some big flashing lights and an air horn on your runs.
