I have 4 kids, 2 boys and 2 girls. 11, 9, 6 and 2. I have been married to my guy for 13 years. He is great and so supportive of my running life. He is also very active, mostly weight training and he has run 2 half marathons as well. He is very fast without training too hard. 1:28 Half Marathon!!! I am working on being able to keep up with him. Someday when are kids are older we look forward to training together.

My weight is coming down. I am so happy. Still hoping for 125 for race day. Hoping it will bring my marathon time down.

When is the race????

Hey, my weight was right where I wanted it last week....then I ate too much all week and now I am on that dreaded taper. DANG! I have gained back 5 pounds just like that!

OH, and 127 in my dreams!!!! You are TINY. Who would believe you have even had kids at all????

"the race".. is SGM. I'm not running anything before that. I am starting to feel nervous. I have high hopes for this marathon 3:35.. but I have also been busting my butt so hopefully I can pull it off that day. Are you going for a PR?

Kudos on your weight Britta!

I am so dumb, I knew that! Sorry, I forget things. You have not done this race for a bit, it is going to be fun!!!

OK, I better get really serious about my eating now that I know I have to stand next to you in a little over a month!
