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 ;)

I am only as strong as the chocolate I eat.

Ten miles on my bike following Michelle around the fields.  So much fun :)  I just wish I could run like her.  Well, at least I have a bike that can keep up with her :)

Are you foretelling the future now?

yes- this is my new mantra :) I am getting ready to go meet with the principle and the teacher. I don't want to go. I want to eat a stuffed crust combination pizza and watch a movie in my bed :) I'd actually rather go to the dentist than meet with this teacher.

There's a Houston half and PF Chang's half, but I'd vote for Painter's half. These are all in Jan.
