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 met Jennie in Salem for a run at 8.  When I looked at our pace, it was mainly 11:30.  It took us 59 minutes, but we walked a few times.  Sweet Jennie hasn't run 5 in a while, so we took it easy.  I am guessing that we were going a bit faster than 11:30.  Anyway, it was SUPER fun to run with Jennie.  We picked up a stray dog on the run.  It followed us for 3.5 miles, about.  It was running in front of cars and causing all kinds of trouble.  Drivers were not happy.  We mouthed on several occasions that it was not our dog.  It was a cute dog.  I wonder if it's home or been hit by now.....

Sounds like a great run with a good friend! Oh, and I HATE when stray dogs follow me - I always tell on lookers "Not my dog!"

You sure have some nice running friends, human and canine.

Running friends are wonderful! Good work out :o)

Hey, another 5 miler! You're doing awesome! NICE to have a friend along; not the dog! :)

The dog was actually quite sweet, just not too smart with the cars :(

The five miles feels pretty good, just on the outer edge of comfy ;) I am doing 4 tomorrow and then 7 on saturday. I'm going with a friend who is a bit slower than I am, so it should be a good match for a nice easy run :)

THANKS you guys, for being SO supportive!! My friend Jennie told me today how lucky I am to have such GREAT running friends and SUPPORT! She is SO right! I am SO blessed to have all of you for friends :)

I've had to pay for a stray dog's bad behavior. Everyone thinks it's your unleashed dog (since I have 2 already). But I always want to point out "hey! That one's not mine!" Good job on the five-er. I've been dreaming about lemon cake for 7 days now that I'm 100% botchulism free. Please don't forget me if new lemoncakemaking ensues for a certain person of interest's birthday......
