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've heard it said, that people come into our lives for a reason, bringing something we must learn.

"And we are led to those who'll help us most to grow, if we let them, and we help them in return.

"Well, I don't know if I believe that's true, but I know I'm who I am today, because I knew you!!!"

Corny, I know- but I could never be achieving these goals I have set for myself with out all of your advice, support and kindness! Thank you so much!

Today's run was very slow and pleasant. I stopped 3 times to stretch out the calves and once for a porta-potty break. I forgot to stop the garmin. Every time I checked my pace it was just under 13 m/m so I am guessing that is about my average-ish.

I hope you all are feeling well and have a GREAT day!

Running- 4.84, 1:05:23, ave 13:31 (with a potty stop and stretching :), best 9:05, Laps-13:29, 15:02(potty stop), 12:58, 12:53, 11:26(.51)

Ah, and you are the true inspiration, cheering squad, FBR Queen to all of us! WE LOVE YOU!

Great work out. I hate that when you forget to stop your garmin in the potty---messes it all up! But, more like a true race, I guess!

Have a splendid day!

Oh, I did Yoga today before I ran, and it was nice! I could actually bend!

Hey Kim- thanks for noticin' (eeyore :) I just had a few minutes and like making neat piles. At my house there are 7 other people who like to mess up my neat piles. At least at work, most people will stick things in a pile if they can tell the piles apart from eachother ;) Thanks for your encouragement. I will ever be grateful that you shared this blog with me :)

Thanks Les & Kel (might as well abreviate everyone- Kim can be Ki?) I need a nap.
