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 ;)

So excited for you Marion! I just read your entry for yesterday, you can reach your goals being so committed! And what's with your kids wanting to blow up trees? Too funny! Have a great day!

I don't know if I can wait for your race report! They should have live streaming coverage of the Painter's Half haha

From Marion on Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 10:33:16

Funny Benn- we could send you text messages as we come in :)

Lucia- I have no idea about the blowing up. But if you read the comments between me and Nevels it might be a bit more clear. :)

Are you leaving the kids behind? Or taking them along?

I can't wait to hear how you do! You first half marathon - how exciting!

I just read yesterday's (and left a comment). I'll be thinking of you at Painters. Have fun.

From Marion on Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 10:58:03

Maurine- The kids are getting left behind! YIKES!! They'll be great :) I am getting a bit too excited! My tummy is upset. If it doesn't calm down by tomorrow about noon, I'll bust out the Imodium ;)

Sno- send positive energy to me :)

Good for you! You got in 2 miles! See you tomorrow night!!!!

From Smooth on Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 13:58:27

Glad you got 2 miles in. I find that I fall asleep better if I had run even a little. Get plenty of sleep tonight, cause we don't sleep the night before the race. I feel lucky I don't have to get the kiddos ready before heading out of town. Can't wait to see ya!!! :)

From Kelli on Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 19:34:30

Dang, I forgot I have to clean and pack all of the kids up, on top of everything I already did today! I lived in the car for 5 hours!

See you tomorrow.

Good luck on your race. I know you can do it! Just remember that you are ready for this race.
