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 ;)

Brain pain :(  Migraine and sinus headache.  I think I am coming down from my sugar high of last week.  I am going to try 2 miles after my daughter is awarded her scholarship at 2.  She won it from Zion's bank.

It's 44 degrees outside :)

48 degrees and the most glorious run EVER!!!  I am in love with today!!!  It is really funny how the canyons effect the winds. We have these valleys and hills that funnel the wind in different ways.  I wore SHORTS and a long sleeve.  I was warm until the head wind got to me.  We are off to the temple :)  Have a fun weekend!

Ashley was SO surprised and excited :) It was so fun to walk into her class with our family to congratulate her :) (I mean embarrass her)

The run was SO amazing that i am afraid to run again, in case it never happens again :) Wish me luck- we are doing a 10 mm to failure on the Provo river trail! Good times!

Excellent run and YAY for the scholarship!!!

From The Howling Commando on Sat, Feb 21, 2009 at 06:53:56

So... if you were hoping for 2 and then get in 5 awesome miles that means that not only are you an overachiever, but you exceeded your goals by 250%. MAN if only my bank's interest could be that high :).

Great run! And congrats on the scholarship! :)

Actually I felt like Julie Andrews in the opening scene of The Sound of Music. The only problem is that from the moment I stepped back in my house I have not been able to stop sneezing. If I am allergic to Spring, I am going to DIE!!!
