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 ;)

Pulling weeds, yard work! My feet are a bit sore, so I am giving them a break today.  I should not have worn my hooker shoes to work this week.  Will I ever learn???  I hate wearing my Birks to work.  I am all dressed up and then granola feet with purple toe nails :(  I bought some pretty EXPENSIVE shoes for work, but they hurt my feet :(

I am having a GREAT day and hope y'all are too!!!

(see Burt- I did not mention breasts once today... ok, I did not mention them 2 times)

So much for a perfect day :(  I went for a bike ride and a wasp/bee/stinging insect flew into my helmet strap and stung/bit me!  I high tailed it home as when I was a kid I was super allergic.  It looks OK, but is swollen and HURTS!!  I can feel my ear swelling up :(  I need to go find some antihistamine.

Just what type of job do you wear hooker shoes to, Miss Marion?

So sorry about the bee! That is not fun, but it looks like some of the 'super allergic' has gone away? Enjoy your rest and recover well...you've got 20 miles comin' at you fast :)

Oh man! That stinks about the sting. Hopefully it hasn't gotten too bad. I have become allergic in my old age, and that's not to fun.

Great new pic! You look completely melted. Love it!

Hi Marion! Sorry about your sting. Those kill and itch! Personal questions - Hey have you found any good underwear to wear while running? If I wear bikini bottom they end up being g-string! Also, on long runs do you run with a fanny pack for water bottles? I hear there is a runners camel back, too. I am going to look for one because I get thirsty.

Kylee- I have a Nathan fuel belt, the 4 bottle one. I figure if I don't need all four, I can leave them home ;) I also just wear high cut leg briefs. I think they are cotton and by jockey. They seem to stay where they are supposed to ;) My friend told me to wear compression bike shorts. Maybe try a few different things and see what works best :)
