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 read once that the more physically fit you are the longer it takes for you to 'warm-up' so on runs when I feel sluggish and tired for the first 3-4 I just think about how fit I am!!

Excited to meet up Saturday! I'll see you at Lori's or the finish I'm sure!! You are gonna rock that course girl!

Can't wait to read your race report! Get rested and have a good run Saturday!

Marion, i will be wearing a yellow long sleeve shirt Saturday. I will be keeping my eye out for you in your pink shirt.

BArry- You are running the 1/2 right? I need to make sure my pink stuff if clean, or I'll be the stinky chick with the pink shirt ;) I will probably have a visor on that says, "Kate" It's the only visor that will fit my HUGE head ;) I am going to write RHPC on my shirt somewhere.

From Barry on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 04:24:35 from 75.174.1.135

I am running the 1/2. Also what does PHPC stand for?

RED HOT PINK CHICKS ;D I may wear my FRB shirt and try to dye it pink today :)

From Barry on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 14:38:49 from 75.174.1.135

I was wrong on the color of shirt. I will be wearing an orange shirt tomorrow morning. Sorry!

From marion on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 15:16:38 from 71.213.117.213

BArry- I have NO idea what I will be wearing. Probably my FRB shirt (white). I need to pack and get ready to head out! I do look like my pic... I think, but with a pony tail and NO makeup. YIKES!!

From marion on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 16:57:26 from 71.213.117.213

Barry- I am wearing black pants with a red fleece sweat shirt. Under that, black short and a white T-shirt with Fast Running Blog on it. That is what is packed, that is what is going in the car! ;)

From marion on Fri, May 15, 2009 at 16:58:52 from 71.213.117.213

Red Hot Pink Chick sounds a lot better than Big headed stinky pink chick. You are a master of marketing :)

I don't think you're big headed at all. I can't speak to the stinky part, though.
