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 argued with myself ALL day to get out and do this run.  finally Chrisann said, "GO out!  If you don't, you'll just keep thinking about it."  She's so smart.  

It was snowing for the run.  The temps were between 35 and 39.  It was probably colder out in the fields.  this run is a gradual down hill and then a gradual up hill back home.  It's a big loop with the onion days 10k in the middle.  I felt tired from 5.5 miles on.  I never got the "I AM DONE" feeling.  As you can see by the last mile, I still had some juice, and burned it all out on the last mile.  Why leave anything in the tanks with a rest day tomorrow :)  I need to eat.  It's 4:42 and I never had lunch, waiting to get out to run first.  How lame am I??
