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 ;)

The furnace guy just left. I am feeling better about having to get a new furnace. :) I will be WARM!!!

I am off to do an hour of yoga.

Dr Brady said at least one more week off of running. I am pretty depressed about the whole thing. He said it could be as long as 4-6 weeks since my hip is not getting over it's self. He has me taking Ibuprofen for 3 days and then off. If I start to retain water then he wants me off asap. It all will take longer to heal without the anti inflammatories, but my kidney health is #1. Yesterday I ate my sorrows away, so today I am up from that, but I will be perfect through the next three days to make sure any weight gain is NOT from a binge of mine. I am still SO happy about my weight. I realize that for you skinny (short) runners, I weigh a TON, but for me, I am a twiglett ;) Having been 255.5 lbs, and now to be less than when I even got married, it SO huge for me :) We are going to have to change David's nick name to Single D ;) I guess there are still 2, so that would be a double D ;) Hmmmm....

I need to call Brady to see if I can bike. He was so surprised that my hip was not better and I was so stumped on the no running, that I forgot to ask if I could still bike. I do have to say that I really am liking being SO lazy and not getting up early. It scares me at how used to sleeping in I have gotten ;)

I haven't commented on your blog for so long, sorry to hear you're having hip issues, 4-6 weeks pass in no time, you'll see!

Hooooray for your weight!!! Keep it up girl, you're doing awesome and a great inspiration to us all!

Lucia my dear friend! Hi!!! How are you feeling? Your races have been AWESOME!!! My ITB is all a mess :( It will heal though :)

Are you guys cold in DC? We/I am freezing around here ;) My nose is cold, my toes are cold and my fingers could freeze a small child ;)

I'm doing super Marion, a month away from Marine Corps Marathon, yikes!

We had a pretty mild summer all things considered, Fall is the best time of the year in DC but it's been humid and a bit hot... not too bad - I wish I was freezing with you guys up in the mountains! I'm going to run on a tank top for as long as I possibly can!

From Cal on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 12:55:57 from 66.133.117.3

congrats on your continued lbs progress Marion... BTW, I'd be thrilled to get down to 172.8

get well and running again soon!

You are doing so great on the weight. Keep focusing on that, even though you can't run like you want to. Have patience and your day will come again.

From Burt on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 13:31:05 from 68.76.197.194

I did not copy you Lucia. I have one less o in hooray than you!

From marion on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 13:40:05 from 71.213.124.121

Lucia- I am so glad that all is well :) i can't wait to hear about your marathon :) Are you going for the BQ? Oh and keep wearing the summer clothes, just for me :)

Burt- you ARE a copy cat! ....but we still love you :)

Cal- Thanks! Weight is a big fat bugger!! (oops, I said the "f" word..fat)

Maurine- It will be ok. I just keep telling myself, breaks are good, breaks are healthy... blah blah blah ;) How are you feeling???

From RAD on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 14:49:07 from 76.27.12.70

Marion, keep up the good work and Yoga on! Your body will thank you ten fold later for being such a good yogie!! CONGRATS on the weight - yes I DO know what you mean :)

From marion on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 14:50:36 from 71.213.124.121

Thanks Rachel, I know you know what I am talking about ;) Us Amazon Goddesses need to stick together!

From RAD on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 14:55:56 from 76.27.12.70

yes we do! There are like 3 pictures of me from TOU where the person next to me comes up to my shoulders or below...it's laughable! It truly makes me look like an Amazon!!

From Burt on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 15:42:29 from 68.76.197.194

I thought you were bust godesses. Hi-o!

From leslie peterson on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 17:27:50 from 76.23.61.78

Marion, you are a tall lean strong gorgous running chick!!! The picture of health!!!!! You do have a dumb hip though, guess you aren't completely perfect! :) Hang in there, I do hope you can bike! I understand about the sleeping in, I am worried about that next week, when I no longer have bootcamp, it is easy to stay in bed, especially as the cold weather comes on, but we will be strong!!! Right? Right!

From marion on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 17:39:33 from 71.213.124.121

I CAN BIKE! I am going to bike when I get home from work tonight :)

RAD- us tall chicks have to band together!

Burt- very funny, mister ;p

Les- you are too kind :) Aren't you going to keep up boot camp after St George?? You can't give up your magic bullet ;) don't do what I did and skip my yoga and screw myself all up :(

From leslie peterson on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 18:04:23 from 76.23.61.78

I can not afford to do bootcamp consistantly, it is too expensive and exhausting, I plan to pick up classes here and there when I can, but I am looking forward to a break for now.

From marion on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 18:08:17 from 71.213.124.121

Dang that whole money thing :p Why can't we just get what we need :) Hey, I wonder if there is a "bootcamp" on line like I found my yoga on line??

From Carolyn in Colorado on Wed, Sep 23, 2009 at 18:29:56 from 198.241.217.15

Congratulations on the weight loss!!

You are going to be so freakin' flexible with all that yoga and no running. I'm as tight as a drum.
