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 ;)

An hour of a GREAT walk with Michelle :)  She is SUCH a great friend :)  I am having the hardest time getting out and NOT RUNNING.  Everything is NOT RUNNING to me.  I am going to go bike, fine, but NOT RUNNING.  Elliptical is cool, but NOT RUNNING.  I made Michelle promise to not let me run.  Just a few more weeks.  I also talked to Josse today and she is going to give me a lesson on self beatings ;)  I am going to order a scraping tool today.  Now I will be able to bruise myself ;)

I am going to get changed from work and do an hour of yoga.

Marion you are so funny, you are the good friend, I am the friend you put up with.

Oh, I'd imagine that there are a few people that would argue that with you :) Thanks again!

I think the elliptical is almost running, although in a boring, pathetic way.

I'm glad that Michelle kept you in line today and learning scraping from Josse should be fun!

I want in on the scraping lessons! I've heard they are WONDERFUL. I'm so proud that you are keeping on track with your recovery "this too shall pass"! Hang in there girl, you'll be back at it in no time.

Scraping sounds uncomfortable.

You crack me up! Leave it to Marion to make NOT RUNNING and self-bruising a COOL thing! YOU'RE ONE TOUGH COOKIE! Ooops I said the C word! Sorry!

Scraping HURTS! I have a bruise the size of a VERY large cantaloupe on the top front of my thigh :( It is an ancient Chinese therapy called Gua Sha. It's great for the soft tissue injuries we runners like to inflict on ourselves ;)
