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

5.00

1 to 2 inches of snow last night have made for a slick and icy road condition this morning. Since the treadmill is out, I am going to wait until we get back from the Draper Temple open house after noon. We are taking the kids out of school to go :) Fun times :)

** wE HAd a great time with the kids today. No lines, no wait. We arrived in the parking lot at 9am and were back in our car to go home at 10am. Perfect. We shopped at Old Navy and had lunch at Chili's. GREAT TIME! Note- all old Navy's kids clearance is 50% off the lowest marked down price ;)

1:03:12, ave 12:38, best 8:15, Splits-12:56, 13:30, 12:56, 12:39, 11:09

The left ham was fine for the whole run except for the last 1/2 of a steep down hill at about 4.5 miles in. It just ached a bit, just enough to know that it was there. I am going to add one mile a day on the treadmill to help strengthen the ham.

Have a very happy Valentines Day! We are going to stay home with the boys. The girls all have plans :) Let them fight the crouds!

Luckily - the lines aren't as long anymore. I was glad we could use my dad's handicapped pass and skip the bus lines.

My parking lot last night was an ice sheet - made me scared to get out of bed this morning (sounds like a good excuse).

Smart woman, no running in the ice!

My parents never took me out of school for anything. They even scheduled my dental appointments during summer break. Your kids must think your awesome!

Hope you had a GREAT time!!

Hi everyone!! I got my run in :) No ham issues! Yeah!!! Whoo Hoo!!!

Mike- I am sorry your parents were so mean ;) jk- parents are supposed to be mean. My kids think we are the WORST- we must be doing something right :) I wrote more details up top.

Good job on the running and nursing that ham. Make sure you ice and stretch it.

Looks like you have had a wonderful day, and a nice run! Good plan on strengthing your ham.

From Smooth on Fri, Feb 13, 2009 at 17:59:21

Looks like a PERFECT Vday Eve. Smart to take your kids out of school on the day they would have been on sugar high. They got "spiritually fed" and "old navy clothed". GOOD mama and GOOD JOB on the run.
