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 ;)

I ran to Salem this morning on the highway.  I was a bit of a chicken and waited for the rain to stop.  It wasn't to bad of a run at all.  Much better than last saturdays 10 miler on the Salem canal path.  The cows were out at very pleasant :)  A few dogs tried to eat me, but I told them to go home and they did.  Hot 6 grain cereal for breakfast seems to not cause me any tummy trouble on my runs.  Good to know!

Goooo Marion! Welcome to the blog! I'm sure you will do nothing but improve. Keep up the good work.

I was heartened to read about your crappy 10 miler. I had a crappy run yesterday--it's nice to know I am not alone. But we just keep plugging along! Keep up the great work!

This is SO great! I love to hear that others have bad days and still keep running. I have had people look at me like I am nuts for keeping going when things a just plain HARD! We runners must be a strange breed :)
