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 ;)

Hey you!!! A word about my least favorite terrain to run on. I HATE mud that has been driven on by big trucks, making giant 3" deep tire tracks... and then it freezes that way. I had to run a quarter mile on that stuff and I am glad I made it out without a broken ankle. I was kinda pooped on the run today. It was an up hill/down hill route. The 3rd mile is hilly flat-ish with that quarter mile of death in the middle :) I think my new asics hurt my feet. I am going to look back at other runs and see if it is them. I fear it is. I wonder if Steve takes returns on running shoes?

Happy Thursday! I get to go shop for a formal with my oldest tonight. I sure hope there is something blue and CHEAP we can find. I don't have to worry about the modest part. She wears baggie jeans and hoodies everywhere. I should say, I hope we can find something she will wear that does not look like a tarp ;) She is such a cute girl, but she has a major sense of modesty that she did not get from me! ;D

HAHAH so funny you are, Marion! "a major sense of modesty that she did not get from me". HAHA You're a funny one! ;) Hope the dress shopping goes well!

Good run today! Hope your shoes are not the problem, but then, I hope you can figure out what the problem is. LOL

Good luck dress shopping. Where can you find cute modest dresses that dont' make a huge dent in your wallet? When you find out let me know... or what size is you daughter and maybe we can swap dresses!

Shopping, fun!!! Have a great time. You can count all the mall walking in your miles :)

From Kelli on Thu, Feb 05, 2009 at 13:32:00

Hey, we are in the same boat only I am shopping for a semi-formal and I have to work on the modesty thing with my child! Have fun shopping, great workout today, and SO glad that the brownies made you feel all better today!

You got your miles in, good girl! Have fun with your daughter today!!

From leslie on Thu, Feb 05, 2009 at 14:28:11

I just noticed we both have the same amount of miles for the year! Yay us!

I hear you on the ruts from the tires. I sometimes run on a specific dirty trail and last Saturday it was all rutted and frozen that way from bikes and a truck having driven on it when the previous snow was melting. No fun.

As for the dress, I'm glad my teenagers are boys. I don't have to deal with a teenage girl for a few more years. My oldest has a tux for orchestra and he just wears that, but with a different shirt and vest/tie when he goes to a dance.

I hate to run on rutty stuff. I think you have to wear trail shoes for that or risk twisting an ankle.

Have fun shopping for formals. I'm glad my teenager is a boy.

I just signed up for the race on Saturday! Have you?

I emailed Mary Ann my info because I have a coupon for a free race. :)
