My Favorite Quote-   "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

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 ;)

WARNING...Don't read this if you are looking for some sunshine.  VERY BAD MOOD! :(  My back was buggin' last Thursday so I took it easy.  I headed out to run Friday morning and it HURT!  I circled around, came home and headed over to Dr. Brady.  The weekend was BAD :(  Monday at work was terrible.  A member came up to me after the meeting and asked if I was OK.  I thought I was faking pretty good, but she said I was walking a bit off.  She's an athlete and recognized the weird walk.  I have been SO upset :(:::.......  Yesterday Brady took a large portion of my appointment assuring me that I will get better.  He is 100% certain that I will have a full recovery, but it can take 3-6 months to recover from getting slammed by a car.  I am trying to chill.  I haven't cried today.  I might just swim and do yoga for the next three months.  I am pretty beat and downtrodden.  Ok, I may have to cry today.  I'm getting a bit ticked off.  Now to go fix dinner for the troops.  Put on the smile and suck it up!  Oh crap!  I have a choir rehearsal in an hour....
