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 ;)

35 miles is a nice goal for the week. I wish you the best on achieving it!

From montelepsy on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 15:17:21

Wow, I don't think I've ever run that much in a week ever. Keep it up!

From marion on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 15:20:35

you two have run marathons- you beat me for sure, Mike!

From Smooth on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 15:34:16

I see that you ran 26+, then 31+ miles the last two weeks. You are building up your base mileage nicely. I have confidence that you can reach your 35 miles goal this week. Steady does it. Have a great week.

From marion on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 15:40:06

I kept getting sick which threw a wrench in my mileage plan. After this 35 week, I will be back on my 10% addition plan for 3 weeks and then it's time to mini- taper/cut back for the 1/2. Good times ;)

From montelepsy on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 15:48:30

The week of my marathon I ran less than 35 miles. While training for it my highest mileage/wk was less than 24. Before I stopped running a couple of weeks ago my highest ever other than marathon week was less than 31. You definitely beat me in miles. I have had dark hair longer than you though.

From Smooth on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 15:58:08

Marion, is Painter's your first Half? I'm just reading your goals on the left. You are doing GREAT in reaching your goal WAY ahead of your birthday. I'm SO excited for you!!!

From marion on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 16:00:12

Smooth, Yes- Painters 1/2 will be my first :) I am pretty darn excited :) There is one in Provo in early April in case the universe has different plans for me :D

Mike- you are going to have to PROVE that hair to me!

From Smooth on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 16:09:23

With those beautiful locks of yours, how can the universe not co-operate. You are making things happen, nothin's gonna stop you. Can hardly wait to see you cross the finish at Painter's.

From Kelli on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 17:39:05

Good luck to you on your runs this week---you can do it and you will be awesome! You are gonna beat me at Painters, and I will be so happy for you!

From marion on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 18:34:40

I'm not going to beat you, but you can pace me and then LET me win in the end ;) Hey- we can chick Jon ;)

From Kelli on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 18:37:54

Jon has gotten way too fast! But, pacing sound fun and doable, as long as you slow down for me! Maybe you can pace me?

From Jodi on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 20:25:36

35 miles....awesome....You know you can do it. It's amazing how far you came along.

From leslie on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 22:01:13

Okay Marion, I am going to be your training partner this week! I am going to try and do your same running schedule! I am a fly by the seat of my pants girl, so I will see if I can stick with it!! Good luck to us both! Stay healthy this week !!

You picture is so cute it is intimidating! :)

From marion on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 23:03:19

Yeah Leslie- we will be the best running partners this week. Just remember my new rule- I only have to run "fast" one day a week. The rest are fun and relaxing, even the one long run.

From leslie on Sun, Dec 07, 2008 at 23:51:02

Okay, sounds like a plan to me!
