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 ;)

Weight 77 lbs?

Do you want me to come out and help you through speed tomorrow or Friday?

From The Howling Commando on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 11:11:20

YAY! What a great run :) You have the NEGATIVE SPLIT BUG! Muahaha

From marion on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 11:16:38

Yes- I cut out my middle and am just arms and legs :) I am posting my total lost. I am going for 100#'s

Friday would be great! What time? David will be home if you want to come later and the boys can play ;)

From marion on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 11:30:27

Heck Michelle- my boys are up at 5:30, you can come whenever and they'll have a friend to play with ;)

I am with you, a run is a run! Way to get out there, you need a slow day if you are going to run with that Speedy Michelle! I like your idea on the weight thing. It is such a huge accomplishment! It will be fun to watch your progress and cheer you on to VICTORY!!!! Have a great relaxing day!

From MichelleL on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 12:39:57

I can't come later though that sounds like heaven. I have a Dr appt (Brady) at 9:45 and have to get the kids off to school from 7:20-8:20 so that kills a later morning. I can meet at 6am. Hows that for a compromise? (that's a joke, Marion and I always meet at 6am).

From Snoqualmie on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 12:57:33

Some running is better than no running, and slow running is better than no running. Therefore, a successful run!

From marion on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 13:02:35

Michelle- I LOVE 6am! It is my DREAM running time :)

Sno- you are right- a run is a run :D

From marion on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 13:03:47

hey Benn- i have always wondered how to spell "muahaha"!!! ;D

From Metcalf Running on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 13:21:35

Way to get the miles in... I think today will be a slow day for me also.

From The Howling Commando on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 14:17:31

Yeah I've done some scholarly research to determine that "muahaha" is the correct spelling :-P

We're going to have to get you a shirt that says "negative split queen" soon!

From marion on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 14:24:29

Not to diminish your kind compliment, but when you start out as slow as I do, negatives are not hard to achieve! ;)

From montelepsy on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 14:58:01

Those slow miles build you up on the cellular level. You're a mitochondria producing machine!

From marion on Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 15:03:10

Thanks Mike- I was not taking the time to remember those sweet Mitochondria. I remember having to draw them in college. I had fogotten about those little arobic brothers of mine! Hail to the Mitochondria!!!

Good job today, as always! I hope you are RELAXING, you so deserve it after all of your baking!!!
