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 ;)

55 minutes of swimming.  Man, that was HARD and awesome!  BUT... more awesome than that is that MY QUAD IS ALL BETTER!!!!  No limp, no pain when taking the stairs, just tender to touch and kneeling is not perfect yet (so is that not "all better?").  I am SO excited to run on Monday :)  Yippee!!!  Happy day for healing!!!

Have a GREAT day!  Love to you all!!!

YAY for ALL BETTER QUADS!!! Swim away sweet Marion, you're gonna be a TRI Queen!

Yay, don't go crazy on it now or it may turn on you again!

Swimming is HARD!

Nice swim! It's tough to swim that long!! I'm so excited that you're ready to run, happy healing (all the way!) to you too!!!

Great job on the swimming. Hold strong on not running until Monday.... You could probably throw in some gentle walking to keep the muscles strong.

How did the stairs go yesterday? Sounds like they didn't bug you!

Glad you're healing and will be getting back to it. You are an inspiration to us all.

Smooth- I hope I like the tri :) It just feels like the best way to cut my miles, to give myself a few months at lower miles to rest my bod ;) I want to be able to run FOREVER!!!

Kelsey- I am being good! No running until next week, and next week will be ALL flat ;)

Kelli- it is REALLY hard, but SO cool. You should read my melting marion blog about the girls next to me today :)

RAD- you are such a GREAT cheerleader for me. I am SO excited to run next week :)

Miles- yesterday the stairs were OK- I was a bit leary of them, but today I was very confident that nothing was wrong :) The pain upon touching is nearly gone too :) Happy DAY!!

Arti- Thanks SO much :) I really love this exercise stuff :) It makes me HAPPY :)
