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 slept so BEAUTIFULLY last night and I even got to sleep in this morning!  WOW! 

This week I have 28.6 miles planned for.  I am going to bike as to make my miles 8 every day.

I have SO much more to say regarding my goals and ideas but I have got to get busy with the kids :)  I just want you all to know how much I appreciate your help, advice and mostly your encouragement and I try to become the best runner I can be.  Running is my little thing I get to do that is for me.  It is my "time out" that I so desperately need each day.  Thank you for your friendship and cheers!  They mean ever so much to me!

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts. I know it can be hard to get the blogging right with kids needing your attention. And I only have one! lol

Marion -- you are just so dang cute!! Can't wait to hear more!! Here's to two wonderful nights of sleep ... let's see if you can pull it off!! :)

You are awesome Marion. You inspire the rest of us more than you know! And you are such a cheerleader!!!

Wish I could sleep in...how do you pull that off??

Kelli- We have a time capsule basement. once the boys get down there in the morning, they are locked in until I set them free :) Actually I am not sure how it happened. I just got REALLY lucky this morning :D

Thanks guys! You are so nice :)

Sleep well! I ate too much english toffee tonight.

I ate too much of everything all weekend. I should run 150 miles this week.

Marion, you really are a cheerleader and bring so much positive energy to the FRB. I have enjoyed getting to know you better and love reading your posts. You are kind of obligated to keep us all going now..... No pressure. I too need to run 150 miles this week too Kelli. I had one day of not eating due to my little throat procedure and so I made up for it and then some. Wow, I need some control!!! I made home made oreo cookies tonight for our "treat", need I say more??

Oh and Marion, I just noticed your goal to run a 1/2 marathon before April of next year. The "Heidi's" and I (along with our hubbies) are all going to go down and do the Painters Half in SG on January 17th. You should come down and do it with us!!

From marion on Sun, Sep 21, 2008 at 23:42:11

I am hoping to do the Painter's half :) I think it may be a party :) Party...don't let your mama know! party... or she won't let you know!

I LOVE homemade oreos! We make regular and mint. YUMMY!
