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 ;)

Smooth: I made the quinoa salad. It is from a weight watchers cook book but I tweeked it a bit.

Bring two cups of water to boil with 1/4tsp salt. Add 1 cup rinsed drained quinoa let simmer until transparent about 15 minutes, set aside to cool.

3 cups strawberries

3 kiwi

2 cans drained mandarin oranges

Dressing: 1- 4oz activia light vanilla yogurt blended with about 2 TB of orange concentrate. Mix with fruit first then add quinoa when cool and mix.

I have been waiting for race reports from the RHPC's all day. Nobody is posting them as race reports. What kind of conspiracy is this???!!!

From LuzyLew on Sun, Jul 11, 2010 at 11:18:31 from 69.169.167.157

Hiya Marion. Thank you so much for inventing this race for us. I've so looked forward to seeing everyone again in their blinged out pinkness, the rooster,and the food. It was worth the wait. It was so great to see you guys. You've been so busy, and things have been rough these past few weeks. I wish I lived closer to be of more help. You are the best. Thanks especially for that Quinoa fruit salad. I want to eat at your restaurant. You really know and love good food. I love that. Take good care, it was so good to see you. Hopefully we can have another fun Onion Days day if David doesn't object. Tell him hi from me. I hope he'll be getting stronger day by day. XOXO

Thanks for all YOU did!! Simply getting us all together is the most important part!! I hope you get a breather before the onslaught this week :)

Keep your head up and keep going lady - you are simply amazing and we all love you! Even your 'truck driver' mouth while you run :)
