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 ;)

OK- so my back is achy, but not form altering ;)  I do have to lay flat on the floor for a while after each exercise.  My back is just WEIRD!  I see Brady tomorrow.  He says that we are starting official rehab tomorrow.  I am going to do these three things everyday this week.  If all goes well, I'll add some running in next week.  I shall consult with the doc first.  He says I am clear to run right now, but I have to listen to my body.  My body keeps acting like it wants to throw a fit, so I have skipped it.  I've had so many setbacks that I am a HUGE CHICKEN!  I am not used to being such a pansy.  I need my fiercness to come back.

Hey Marion! How is everything? I feel like I lost everyone this year because my job is so demanding. It's nice to catch up on the school break. Let me know how you are!

You're doing great Marion! Hang in there and know your patience is making you tough.

Gee girl. Cut yourself some slack. Not only did you have a life altering experience - it could have been life ending.

Get back in control of your eating and do what you can. You have seen how Michelle came back from being crippled and can do the same yourself.

I am really heavy right now. Want to have a healthy eating or weight loss competition?

We've gotta come up with a Marion's back related RHPC race name for 2011.

"Hit by cars and life, but still trucking."

"Backs are so optional."

"Playing chicken with big hunks of junk."

Ok, I am not very good at this naming brainstorming, but perhaps someone with a creative brain can put some thought into it.

LOL!!! I love all those names, Michelle!

Hey there sweet Marion! Stay tough! Sending hugs and healing thoughts your way!

Hope you have a wonderful holiday with your family and friends! :)
