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 ;)

Total Distance

7.36

The run was very nice this morning. I felt great when I woke up this morning! YEAH!! The run felt great except for the last mile and a half. I was really tired for that portion of the run. The biking was tiresome. I am tired now. I am going to do some laundry today, but not much else. Fortunately I was able to get a sub last night so I could rest. The two days of rest made a big difference for me, I'm sure. Tomorrow Michelle is going to pace me for a 5k. I am planning on making salsa tomorrow too. I am going to grill all of the peppers and onions, when I say "I" I mean David ;) It should be tasty! My calves were pretty tight so I stopped and rubbed them out at about .7 miles into the run.

Have a wonderful day all you speedy speedsters!!! :D

Glad you are feeling better! I want some of your salsa! Keep that calf behaving!!

From Kelli on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 14:37:57

OOOO---homemade salsa sounds so good. I will be right over!

I am glad the rest has done you well. You rock!! No push-ups today, though?

From marion on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 14:39:23

Oh yeah! I forgot the pushups! I'll do my push-ups too :) Thanks for the reminder! You're such a GREAT friend!

From Teena on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 14:44:35

So happy that you are feeling better!! Must have been some special fruit!! :)

From Kelli on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 14:50:25

Aren't I though?? I actually bagged the push ups for the week. I will start next week!

From marion on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 16:21:49

I have to do extra work, my amazon goddess is tired of being squished by FAT!!! lol :) I want to run fast, too!

From MichelleL on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 19:12:10

Alright, see you tomorrow morning. Get lots of sleep (you're going to need it ;) ).

From marion on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 19:26:52

Okee Dokee! Pls ring the bell if you see no signs of life. I will leave the front door open, like actually open, just come on in :) I should be ready, I'm usually not late. Are you?

From MichelleL on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 20:15:54

Are you kidding? No.

From marion on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 20:29:00

I just thought I'd ask :) My running partner is always 10+ minutes late, so I tell her 15 min early so we can get out on time ;) I think it is just going to be us- so I need you to come up with TONS of very interresting stories to keep my mind off of you kicking my hiney! :D I just ate a great carb dinner. I am still feeling a ton better. :)

From MichelleL on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 20:31:19

I just had eggs and toast :) (one piece with plum jam, the other with peach).

From marion on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 20:44:54

Yumm! I love jam and toast. I could eat it forever :) I had brown rice with a very low fat beef stoganoff and cantelope! I am going to drink a TON of water and get to bed early, but not too early or I wake up at 2-4 am and can't get back to sleep :( I skipped the nap today, in hopes of sleeping better tonight. Hey- it's going to be PITCH black out there in the fields- no street lights at all. Any ideas?

From MichelleL on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 20:57:00

Ideas for what? My philosophy is to run in the dark if its dark. I don't typically bring anything. In fact I don't even own a flashlight that's intended for running. If you want to bring one I'll carry it for you, but don't do it for my sake. I figure I'll watch out for the cars, I don't even necessarily want them to see me.

From Metcalf Running on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 21:53:42

Good to see you are feeling better :)

From marion on Thu, Sep 18, 2008 at 22:40:01

Cool Michelle! :) I just ususally run in the dark where there are street lights. I am totally up for an adventure :)

Thanks Lori!

Hey, you guys be careful not to trip in a hole, or get hit by a car!!! I think you need a flashlight! Be careful!
