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 ;)

What a GLORIOUS spring day!  I went on my first bike ride of the year.  I went for 60 minutes.  Divide that by 12:00 and you get the 5 miles running.  I will do 60 minutes yoga tonight and 25 push-ups and 100 crunches.  Fun times!  I am getting really excited about this marathon :)

Oh yeah, I saw 3 Mule Deer.  They were fine with me until I started talking to them.

It's Anna's 17th birthday today.  We are having Sushi for dinner and a yummy chocolate raspberry 4 layer cake with cream cheese frosting and chocolate ganache drizzled on top.  It is going to be so yummy!

Your blog is always so chirpy and happy! I just read your training plan you posted yesterday. GREAT plan and goal! I got your text message that you signed up for Utah Valley Marathon while we were driving in St. George. I tried to reply but it didn't go thru. So here's my reply...WOOHOO!!! You're gonna love it!!! No worries; train smart, think positive, you are so focused and positive, you will reach your goals! See you on the 28th. It will be a nice Sat. long run with friends and aid stations and a shirt to boot. :)

I did notice when we ran together you like to talk to the animals! I am hoping to bike as soon as Harold gets home, he may poop out on me though, we shall see.

Sushi and cake!! That cake sounds DELICIOUS!!!

Yes, Leslie- I do talk to animals. I hae found that most animals won't kill you if you talk to them ;) Wait... regular folk don't talk to animals?

Smooth- thanks for the vote of confidence. I am pretty excited. Oh and the California rolls were DELICIOUS and the cake is just calling to me. I wish they would hurry up and eat. I want the cake!!!
