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 ;)

No soreness yesterday or today.  The run felt fine, just tired and worn, as expected.  I really like how my body has adjusted to running.  I am rarely sore, maybe I am not working hard enough ;)

Have a great monday!!!

Another recovery day :)  I had to hit another car today.  It was Anna's ex-boyfriend.  I yelled at him to NOT HIT ME!!!  The poor boy is probably going to need therapy now ;)

I am SO happy that it is pretending to be spring!  I raked out a few flower beds yesterday :D  It was so nice to be outside.  I put my little adarondack set on my proch.  I think I will sand and paint it today :)  La de da!  I am so happy the snow is going away :)  (At least for today :)

Can you say MOLASSES!!!  I was going for a tempo run today.  Mile two is an all out push and NOTHING!!!  I guess my legs had other plans this morning.  They felt like lead.  Oh well.  I did try my new 6 mile route.  I am going to do it twice this week and 3 times next and so on until all of my days are six's.  FUN!!!

Ok- if you are faint or queezy, you may not want to read about my breakfast.  I am having a green smoothie.  Here are the ingredients:  beet greens, kale, celery, carrot, apple, orange, banana and lemon juice.  It is VERY UGLY but tastes great.  I am going to have one after every run from now on.  Oh and no more soda ( I mean it this time).  I am going to have a smoothie and NO soda for 2 months.

I am off to do laundry and clean the family room.

Great run today :)  I actually felt really good today.  On mile 5 I needed to so some strides.  I did three, 8:50, 8:45 and 7:39.  The last one drained the tanks and so I just took the last mile nice and easy.

Today's green smoothie is VERY pink.  1/2 raw beet, beet greens, celery, orange, apple, banana, kale, carrot and lemon juice.  I wonder if my teeth are pink???  I should probably use a straw!

Leslie and Maurine (hopefully) are coming to run around Payson with me on Saturday.  We are going 10-14 miles at a very easy and relaxed pace.  We'd love to have more company if anyone is up for it :)

It was snowing, but it was a great day to run.  The roads were clear and next to no drivers out.  The best part was the Kim came and ran with me :D  When we got home I made her a green smoothie and she brought me a banana blueberry bran muffin.  The perfect morning :)  I made the same smoothie as yesterday except I added coconut oil.

I am off for a fun day with David and the boys.  Have a GREAT weekend!

Don't forget to PM me if you want to run with Leslie and me (and hopefully Maurine) in the morning.

Leslie and I had the most perfect run this morning.  She came down at 7 and we ran the Payson 10k route and then down the canyon to top it off.  Oh wait- we actually topped it off at One Man Band for a greasy breakfast.  Man that had a bit more grease than I remember.  It was SO great to spend the morning with Leslie :)  Running is the best.  We had a couple stops for foot fixes and a bit of stretching.  It was darn cold!  Leslie's water bottles froze :D

I hope y'all are having a great weekend!  I am off to do some laundry :p  and hopefully a hot date tonight :)

Alright, I just noticed that I am .5 miles away from 40.  I have to go run some more! :)  I will return and report.

*** .8 M with Will.  He's 3.  He needed some Skittles and I needed a bit more to break 40 miles.  This is a PR for me :)  I am probably the coolest person in Payson today :)
