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 ;)

Drama drama drama! I wake up at 6:30 to run with Kim at 7. Well, at 7:05 my daughter wakes me up and tells me that Kim is waiting in the front yard! Ooops! So I hurry and get ready with no potty stop. We get three blocks away and I need a potty break. The park is all locked up so we loop back to my house. We Please follow Fast Running Blog policy regarding vulgar language around (hee hee) for a bit and then finally get off again. Well it is almost a mile before we realize that we are not running :) Well as you see by our splits that the rest of the run was actually running and pretty good :) We had .2 at 7:18 :D We were smokin'!

My son appears to have broken his pinky finger last night so I am off for x-rays and Dr appointments! I am trying not to be too mad that my husband did not take him last night. When David said that he had jammed his pinky on the sofa, I assumed he meant his toe. I thought EVERYONE knew that hands MUST be seen! Toes- who cares! FINGERS ARE A MUST BE SEEN!!!! Argh!!! Oh well, I guess my "give a darn" isn't as busted as I thought! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFG9dwolo3Q Here is the video incase you missed yesterdays comments!

I sure hope I can get the bike ride and yoga in. The biggest problem is that I have to go to Provo for x-rays! :( Have a great day everyone and be safe!!!

Nope- it's the first run I have missed in forever! I am going to try to do it with the boys in the jogger. Will(2) threw up all last night and I just could not convince myself to get out of bed until right now (8:49). I ususally get to sleep in on Thurs, fri, sat and sunday but this week is not going to work out that way :(
