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 ;)

Kim and I ran aound a strange and new way.  We had some potty breaks.  I was a bit tired, but we went after I got home from work.  I haddn't eaten much.  Anyway, I am glad that we got it what we did!  Yeah us!!! :D

I forgot to mention the really great part of the run.  Kim and I ran under a small viaduct under I-15.  We were a bit unsure and proceeded with hesitation.  Just as we were about all the way through, I heard a VERY loud sound behind us, a truck.  I SCREAMED, scared the crap out of Kim and we both BOLTED out of the tunnel running like sissy girls.  We were laughing SO hard once we got out of the tunnel I thought we might fall over.  It was a cute elderly couple who were laughing like crazy as they passed us.  I am sure we made their day!

All you need is a little fear to hit an 8 minute mile :)
