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 ;)

1:09:00- I did the first 2 miles on the treadmill in 28 minutes.  The next three were outside.  The laps were 41:49 total time 14:47, 13:25, 12:56.

I really don't like the treadmill, but I am glad I have it. :D  Outside was COLD but the roads were not too bad at all.  They were mostly clear.  IT was nice outside :)

Merry Christmas!!!

MErry Christmas to you! I think we are awesome we got out on Christmas Eve day!!!

From MichelleL on Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 12:42:29

I hear you about the treadmill. See my blog from yesterday for my melodramatic account of how my treadmill run went. Running outside in the cold seems a treat after the dreadmill.

From Marion on Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 12:54:44

Michelle- I nearly posted your sentiment exactly. It makes outside seem like heaven after the treadmill.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! I LOVE christmas!!! I am going to make some Reese's peanut butter cup fudge right now. I was supposed to do it over the weekend, but got a bit side tracked.

Merry Christmas, Marion! You are a lovely person and an inspiration to many! I hope you and your family have a joyful, peaceful, happy holiday! :) Sno

Let me know when the fudge is done and cooled and I will swing by for a piece. Seriously. I'll bring you by my marshmallow fudge but it doesn't sound nearly as good as yours.

From Marion on Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 13:11:32

YES YES YES!!! Seriously- I'd LOVE To share the fudge! Marshmallow is one of my favorite foods! IT should be done by 1- if you can't make it down, email me your address and I will swing some by!

Merry Christmas sweet Marion!

From Becca on Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 19:56:26

Merry Christmas to you!

That's a great use for the treadmill...once you're warmed up a little the outdoors won't seem so cold. Another reason why my next piece of "furniture" will be a treadmill!

And that fudge sounds yummy!

From Marion on Wed, Dec 24, 2008 at 23:46:26

Becca- that stuff is SO good! I have to give it away immediately or I'll eat it all! Michelle came by for a bite and went home with a plate full!

From Burt on Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 12:37:49

Merry Christmas. Hope you get to spend some fun time with the family - provided your husband is relieved of his ecclesiastical duties.

From Lucia on Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 12:54:26

Merry Christmas fabulous Marion! Send some of that fudge my way, will ya? :)

From Marion on Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 15:39:50

Thanks Lucia and Burt- David is free and clear of his church crap... oops- did I type that??? I mean ecclesiastical responsibilities ;D We just don't tell anyone where we are going and no one has his cell phone :) We should be fine, they mostly call on Monday nights anyway ;)

From Camille on Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 20:54:39

I hope you are having a wonderful Christmas!

From Jodi on Thu, Dec 25, 2008 at 22:38:27

Merry Christmas!! Great way to split up the miles. 2 part warm 3 part cold?

From Kelli on Fri, Dec 26, 2008 at 00:03:44
