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 ;)

1:08:00/13:36 on the treadmill

WOW!  Isn't the snow BEAUTIFUL!?!  If I wasn't having major sinus trouble and needing a really easy run, I would have braved the out doors.  My calves were pretty tense this morning and needed a ton of stretching thoroughout the run.  It seemed to help.  I also watched 50 First Dates while I ran.  It is one of my favorite movies.  I cry like a baby at the end when they are on the boat and she is holding and looking at her little girl.  Anyway- I am off ot hit the shower and something else important.  I can't remember what.

Oh- and by the way- my mileage ROCKS this week.  It is my hightest miles yet!  I am going to do a happy dance ;D

What a fun run :). I agree. Super mileage! So close to your 40 mpw goal too! You are one rockin' chicka! Woot woot!

From Teena on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 14:43:42

A huge CONGRATS on you mileage!! That is absolutely fantastic!! Please do the happy dance all day, take pics, and post them!!

Seriously, that is wonderful!!

Enjoy you day doing your very important stuff! :)

From JulieC on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 15:36:12

yeah and you beat my mileage by .22 as I just checked my miles on the board. I thought I was doing great being the most I have run except in a marathon week. You go girl. Great Job!!!

From seeaprilrun on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 16:39:16

Day after a 13 miler and you still ran 5 more without much ado--your fitness level is good! I can't wait for the 17th!

From leslie on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 16:44:13

Way to go Marion, of course you are stiff a bit, you have great miles this week.

50 First Dates in one of my all time favorites too!!

From Marion on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 17:04:42

Benn- thank you! How are the heels?

Teena- My important stuff turned out to be watching Mama Mia in bed with my daughter :)

Julie- NO WAY- I ran more than you this week? HOLY SMOKES!!! I must be turning into a "REAL" runner :D

April- I was a bit worried about the run today. I really goofed off though. I switched my laundry mid run and used the bathroom about 3 times and stretched a lot too. It was a pretty lame/un-serious run, but 5 bad boys still the same :D

From Marion on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 17:05:33

Les- THANK YOU!!! We are going to have so much fun at Painters- how are the heels?

From Teena on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 17:25:46

I LOVE THAT MOVIE!!

Saw it once with Ry and twice with some of my girlfriends. Hmmm ... maybe I will watch it tonight as well!

From britta on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 17:56:41

Awesome, Awesome miles this!!!!

From britta on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 17:58:13

...week! Ha ha

From leslie on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 19:11:18

My heels are horrible, I will be hobbling like an old woman at Painters, I refuse to let it stop me from running/

From Marion on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 19:13:47

Oh no Leslie- what can you do? IS hte vitamin I helping?

From leslie on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 20:08:54

I take way to much Vit. I, I am usually so-so for my run, but by evening I am crippled. I keep thinking it will eventually go away, I have a full year of runs planned, so they do need to get better!!!

Okay, I just ran down and got Run Fat Boy Run and we are going to watch it right now!

From tarzan on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 20:12:42

Great job, Marion. I will not put my extra mileage on the treadmill in tonight - so you can be ahead of me for miles this week.

You will have a blast at Painters. Wish I could be there.

From Marion on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 21:08:26

I forgot where this was posted but lets all go to Vegas to see Mama Mia. Maybe there is a little 5k we can do and then go see it :) David does not want to go for sure, but I do!

From leslie on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 21:09:58

Let's go!!!!

From Kelli on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 21:35:11

Your mileage does rock this week! You are TOTALLY AWESOME! Take care of yourself, lots of YOGA!

From Becca on Sat, Jan 03, 2009 at 23:56:42

I've seen the middle/end of 50 First Dates so many times and have never seen the beginning!! I like the middle and end though.

Congrats on your highest mileage ever week! What a super accomplishment!

From Smooth on Sun, Jan 04, 2009 at 00:42:36

WOW, MARION!!! U TOTALLY ROCK!!! CONGRATS on making your highest mileage and on a tough week with sinus issue to boot.

I love that movie too. It's so darn funny and cute.
