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 ;)

11 degrees this morning!  I came in with icy eyelashes & frozen frosted hair.  My legs felt sluggish but fine :D  My toes were frozen until mile 2.

Four miles tomorrow.  I sure hope it warms up :)

Way to go at Painter's! You did great! Keep up the good work. I injured my ribs by slipping and falling hard on my right side on the only patch of ice on my entire 5 mile run early last Wednesday morning. I just could not take in deep breaths without pretty bad pain. I tried light jogging in the parking lot prior to the race and knew I wasn't going to be able to do it. So I walked it, which was a great experience. I'm doing some better and have finally been able to return to running with just some discomfort. I should be doing pretty good by Moab in March. Watch out for the black ice, it will get you every time.

Thanks Artichoke- Did you know I LOVE artichokes :) DARN THAT BLACK ICE!! I am so sorry you got beat up right before Painter :( I am SO glad it was a good experience for you. Broken ribs are a real bugger! When I broke some ribs, I turned out to be allergic to the pain meds they gave me so I threw up over and over. I think that is the only thing worse than just plain broken ribs- throwing up with broken ribs :D
