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 ;)

My calves were pretty tight at .5 miles and so I stopped and stretched for a bit. That helped a ton. I really like the calf stretches that Dr Brady gave me.  They really relieve the tension!  The run felt really great and at about 2.25, I considered adding a few extra miles. I am really glad I didn't, because at mile 2.75 my quads decided they had had enough. They turned to lead. I forced them on, because I had to get home :) They loosened up at about 3.25 and didn't say much after that. I stretched at home and had a beautiful crookneck tomato scramble with a smidge of sour cream and peach salsa.  Oh, and for a special treat I had a piece of homemade whole wheat toast with the super YUMMY peach jam that Michelle made!  Holy SMOKES, was that a tasty treat!!!  Michelle is quite the domestic goddess!!   Oh, and I found 11 cents today! I am rich! Tonight I will bike per Sasha's instructions.

That is so funny, my husband is always picking up money while he runs, too! You will both be rich one day!

Great job!!

I have monetary rules. Short runs I might pick up pennies and nickels. Long runs - only a dime, quarter or big bucks make me bend down. One day I found a half dollar and one of the presidential dollars all in the same run!

Man I must be in my own little world I don't think I have ever found money on the road. At most I get a smashed snake or raccoon, and I don't live in what you would consider a rural area. Maybe I need to look harder :)
