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 ;)

Sorry to hear you are not feeling well. Good job on working out.

From leslie on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 10:08:23

Hey, you take care today, get some rest and don't even think about more miles!!!! You need to be fresh for Sat. You will love running with Maurine, she is a super pacer, she got me thru a great run this morning. Chill on the couch girl with a good book or DVD!! Thats an order!!!

From snoqualmie on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 10:19:58

Oh dear. Too much cake? Good for you, getting out there at all! Enjoy a day of rest.

From Marion on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 10:23:49

I fear it was too many Cadbury Mini eggs and a HUGE amount of stress. Oh and a bit of sushi too. Not a great combo! :P

From Burt on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 11:50:12

Yesterday I took my vanilla slim fast, threw it in the blender with some ice and an orange - it wasn't great. Kind of stringy.

From Marion on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 12:07:28

Sorry Burt- it can be a bit pithy, but I don't mind :) You can use a bit of orange juice concentrate :)

From Kelli on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 13:32:20

You got your two in any way---you have by far kicked all of out butts in the competition! Hope you feel better quickly! Enjoy your rest.

From Metcalf Running on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 16:28:28

MMMMM Cadbury Mini eggs... but the combo is definately not good LOL. Hope you get feeling better soon. Take it easy :)

From Smooth on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 16:55:13

Marion, sorry the tummy was a stinker. Yes, rest is good. Detox from the stress and Cadbury mini eggs is good too. Do some yoga and curl up on the couch with a book. Baby yourself a little, you BEAUTIFUL!!! P.S. Larry commented to me what a beautiful girl you are and I concur.

From Marion on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 17:01:38

Tell Larry thanks... I am blushing now.. you to are way too kind. I actually need to brush my teeth and hair right now, but who cares for today. I do have to head off to work in a bit. I have done ALL the laundry today and took apart the dishwasher. I think I put it together correctly. I hope so :)

Lori- I have another bag and I am giving it to my friend for her birthday!

From JuieC on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 23:03:11

Don't you hate when the weather is inviting but the bod is not? but...soon enough we'll be Hot Pink Chicks again. Did you know I wore hot pink tech shirt in the SGM? also a plastic bag on my head. Last week I finally met up with a Dr./friend I passed in the SGM. He mentioned the plastic bag (I passed him at mile 18), darn it and not the hot pink shirt. Come on!! Why am I on this subject when I was just writing to sympathize with your tummy? I still have a headache and when I do, I don't think well, so hence the carrying on. Happy forthcoming Thursday. Here's hoping to a good run. PS I am almost done with the fourth and final book. I should be back to normal soon. We know what lack of sleep can do to our heads. Hope you get a good eight hours or more in!!

From Marion on Wed, Feb 04, 2009 at 23:16:27

Julie- It's 9:17 and I am going to bed! I hope you sleep well too. I HATE NO SLEEP! RED HOT PINK CHICKS FOREVER!!! (plastic sack optional ;)

From kellies on Thu, Feb 05, 2009 at 01:14:16

2 is way better than nothing. Good job getting out, especially when you aren't feeling well. Get better girl!!

From Marion on Thu, Feb 05, 2009 at 12:07:04

I am all healed today! It is amazing what a solid nights sleep can do :) Maybe it was the 4 brownies I had last night for dinner?
