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 got to run with my friend Chrisanne today :)  It was SO fun :)  she had to run her first 10 miler today.  She ran 3 to my house and then I ran her out to the dump and back for 7.  She did GREAT!  I forced some shot blocks down her at her 7 mile mark.  I also made her speed up for the last .2 of the run.  She's awesome.  She's also my son's kindergarten teacher.

Now, this was my first 7 miler since FOREVER!!! :)  It felt great!

Congratulations to both of you - to her for her first 10 miler and to you for your first 7 miler in a long time. You sure have some great running friends, Marion.

Good for you for mentoring other runners and getting your mileage back up there.

I've been surprised this year because I have not run with water, gatorade or gu - even on my long runs and my body is handling it with the cooler weather.

Hmmm. Seems like just yesterday I met you for your first time to run your first 9 miler, and it was at that moment you challenged yourself to run a marathon. Remember that? Good times Marion....way to 'pay it forward' (but you do that and so much more!) You're awesome.

Thanks all you WONDERFUL friends of mine. I am SO blessed to know you all :) You sweet ladies have taught me how to be a good running friend to others :) I may have talked her ear off though. It was so fun to have a heavy breathing captive audience. Poor Chrisann!

xoxoxoxo!!!
