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 checked out the highway and it is free and clear for running :) My head is pretty lousy and I am hoping that I can avoid a full blown sinus infection. I am taking the decongestants and I will start the steroid spray today. I guess the dry air really does a number on my sinus. I hope everyone is having a great day. I am off to find some food. The kids pretty much picked off all of the easy treats. My 3 year old ate ALL of the oranges! I knew I sould have gone grocery shopping last night. Bummer! My plan for this week is to run 5 miles a day with an 8 miler on saturday. I am going to do a 5k time trial on wednesday or thursday, depending on how the nose is doing. The #1 priority is to stay healthy for Painters!

Low miles on the treadmill. I really don't like the treadmill :p I am feeling better today, but am still quite sure it is trying to turn into a sinus infection. I am working on keeping it at bay. The treadmill is #1, decongestants and TONS of water. Oh yeah, Nasacort too. I slept in today as well. Hopefully all of this will keep me well for Painters. If I am still feeling well tonight and tomorrow, I will go for 5 miles. I still have no fever and I think the sore throat is from drainage. Man this is STUPID!!! Too much thinking!
We just installed our HD converter boxes and WOW!! We have tons more channels and they look great! We are using our 1960 antenna and it is AWESOME!!

1:06:00/13:12 I am the biggest baby on the treadmill! I just find any excuse to
get off and do something else. This is why outside running is best for
me. I can't wimp out! Thanks to the brilliant Smooth, I was wishing
I had a big ol' fan to use, like hers, and I remembered the HUGE fan I
have kicking around in my laundry room! Yippee! The fan helped a
ton! My calves are still really tight. I am going in to see Dr Brady
this afternoon for my weekly tune up.
As for the cold- I think I
am getting better. I don't feel sick anymore and the decongestants and
Nasacort are doing their job. The crisis may be averted!!!
I am officially on board for all of this "get fit" crap. I am
officially 100% committed to losing 25 lbs. (there are 5 spare pounds
that hopped on board December 25th- Jan 1) I am also going to add the
ab workout that Rachel gave me 3 days a week and yoga is back in 3
times a week too. This is my birthday present to myself. I want to
have lost 100 lbs by my 40th birthday. (please note, that I understand
that even if I follow my brilliant plan to the "t" my body may have
different ideas and I am good with that- progress is progress, even if
slower than desired ;)
As for food- I will eat the Filling
Foods and stick to my Personalized Daily Points Target, Weekly Points
Allowance and eat my Activity Points as needed when hungry. I get to
go out to dinner one night a week and I get one dessert a week, both of
which I will fit into my POINTS budget.
Life is good and I am
happy with all of the progress I have made over the past three years.
Not only have I met ALL of the goals that I set for myself, I have
surpassed many of them. Honestly, my wildest dreams of three years ago
have come true. I do have to admit that I am quite surprised that I
have come up with new "wild" fantasy for myself and can hardly stand
the thought that I am going to be able to accomplish these too.
I'd
better get dressed. I may be a beach volley ball player in my head,
but this flabby gut of mine needs to get covered. If anyone stopped
by, they would first be blinded by the whiteness and then once their
eyes have adjusted they would DROP DEAD at the sheer horror of me in my
running shorts and sports bras! YIKES!!! |

| | 56:35, ave 11:19, best 7:58, Laps- 10:57, 11:20, 11:13, 11:35, 11:32 First mile net down hill and conversley last mile net up hill. Middle three, flat flat flat! I ran to Salem and back on the highway. The run felt great. There was a tad bit of pushing going on, but I could have run further. I wore my hot pint outfit and got two honks. I think I ran so fast because I was SO embarrassed! I look like an idiot! I like the shirt but the pants ride up my bum and they are HOT PINK! Oh well- live and learn! It was 42 when I left and it's 46 now. I was cold the first 1.5 miles and was wishing I had brought my gloves and ear muffs. The last 3.5 miles were prefect. All FRB's going to Painters- we are wearing hot pink and red. I will admit the pants are a bit much, but who knows, maybe I'll learn to love them. They especially look great against the white show in the BRIGHT sun!!! :D

Laps- 11:11, 12:55, 12:39, 13:41. 4 miles outside- Literally ice all over me and icicles formed on my eyelashes. My legs were frozen until the last mile. My feet were just numb by then. It was about 8 degrees.
Will do more on the treadmill after work.
*** I did one mile on the treadmill barefooted. My feet are slippery. My calves are not liking the treadmill at all anymore. They seize up like a rock within a 1/2 mile. Oh well. 5 milee tomorrow and 7 or 8 on saturday. I am liking this taper thing.
## Ab work- http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/cms/article-detail.asp?articleid=486
This makes it so I can't laugh without pain! The workout ROCKS!! The guy in the shorts is pretty hot too ;) WINK WINK!! 20 min yoga

1:04:58, ave 13:00, best 8:16, Laps- 14:29, 13:13, 12:49, 12:48, 11:40 Slushy and icy. LOTS OF FUN! My new shoes are DRENCHED!!! I called three drivers very terrible names. Let's just say that they were BUTT HEADS and I nearly punched one of their cars. Yes, the HORRID cell phone driver was close enough for me to have punched her rear fender. I should have done it. I could have taken her with her rediculous poofy bleached blond hair! yeah- I guess I am a bit feisty today ;D
Anyhoo- David is off today and I would love to laze about, but that probably will not happen. It will be fun no matter what we do :)

1:46:00 ave 13:39, best 7:50, Laps- 11:00(alone with the new orthotics), 14:06 (picked up Kim and walked a bit), 12:44, 13:10, 13:40, 13:53, 12:33 (3 strides ranging from 8:26 to 7:50), 15:28(the "beast" and walked home from Kim's)
Poopie run today :p I should have expected it. I have had really good runs lately, so I was due a crapper. I was mostly just really tired the whole run. I really wanted to lie down in the snow bank for a nap. We did three strides at the end. I figured the run was a bust anyway, so why not toss in some speed for torture ;) It wasn't bad at all and felt a bit redeeming. It made "the BEAST" really hard. (the Beast is what I am calling the cruddy hill just before I get home). I dreampt about making cookies all night. I made Chocolate Chip Oatmeal with dried cherries instead of rasins (which I HATE). I am going to the store after my shower to get the stuff to make them. I am going to try chocolate chunk ;) I thing they are going to be AMAZING! I had three different dreams about them last night. It must be a sign. If they ROCK, I will post the recipe and bring them to Painters with me! They were very good :)
Marion's Dream Cookies Cream: 2 C packed brown sugar
2 C white sugar
2 C soft butter
