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 ;)

1/4 mile warm up on the treadmill.  stretch.  4 mile run ave10:42 Laps-11:29,10:34, 10:23, 10:22.  Stretch

The run felt AMAZING!  I am in love with being outside.  The valley to the south west of pasyon was indescribable!  It was laced with pink, blue and gray clouds and mountain silhouettes.  I am in awe of the beauty all around me.

Oh, I tried the pre-tape ITB wrap that Teena told me about.  It seemed to be good stuff.  Next week I will attempt 4 miles a day.  If that goes well, the next week I'll throw in a few 5's :)  Life may return to normal after all!

hi Jodee! You know sometimes I run and just can't believe how BEAUTIFUL it is. Running really brings out the beauty all around ;D

What a beautiful 4 miler! SO GLAD you got the KT tape Teena talked about. She wrapped me up good when I had an ITB issue days before Ogden last year. It worked like magic. Keep it up. 5 milers here you come, running Goddess!!!!

It was the prewrap you used though, right? Not the KT tape. Prewrap is so so so much cheaper if it works ... doesn't work for everybody though. The KT tape seems more universal.

I am so so so so happy that you had such a fantastic run!!!

Nice job taking time to notice the beauty that surrounds us. We really live in a wonderful place! :)

Beautiful Marion...simply beautiful!! You may have to pass on Teena's infinite wisdom about taping to me :) Good luck on the constant 4's this week!!!
