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 felt much better today. The legs were a little gumpy, but I felt my regular worn out tired self ;) BURRRRrrrrr! It was 42 degrees this morning and I was COLD! I am going to have to figure out how to keep warm!

The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer walk is TOMORROW at Liberty Park in Salt Lake. Anyone is invited to come and walk or run with my team- TEAM NEVER SURRENDER!!!. The walk begins at 9, so arrive by about 8:30. Carpool if possible. It is a great cause and I'd love to have you there! Maurine is bringing Italian Chocolate ;) They have additional t-shirts for $6 and free t-shirts for survivors!

Nice mileage. I can't imagine running in temperatures that cold. I think you should get bonus points. Good luck tomorrow!

Good for you! Enjoy your walk. It's about celebration of life after all, right? Cheers.

Ah man. It is going to be so cold!! What is with the weather? Last week we were all worried about the marathon because it had been so hot up here. Can we not have fall???

I gotta figure out a way to get there---my husband now needs our car (he can not fit all of the kids in the cop car and I can not drive it!) I am working on it!!!

I survived St. George. Does that count?

From montelepsy on Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 05:22:22

Italian chocolate sounds good.

From montelepsy on Sat, Oct 11, 2008 at 05:23:13

...but, Tarzan should bring jungle chocolate to stay in character.
